Students explore repeating and growing patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students describe patterns, explore changing patterns and match patterns. Students participate in online activities and read books that show patterns in...

Don't table the resource on writing expressions for relationships in tables. Scholars investigate relationships between variables and write algebraic expressions involving multiplication and division. These expressions help solve...

An outstanding lesson on music awaits your young composers! They learn about patterns found in music, the different sections of an orchestra, and see the differences between musicians and a composer. Excellent streamed videos and good...

Students create a pattern out of pattern blocks. In this math lesson, students work with a partner to investigate the pattern they have. Within that group, students continue to design the pattern by adding the next two pieces....

First graders participate in hands-on activities and use objects to create patterns. They observe a PowerPoint lesson describing matching objects and patterns. In groups, 1st graders complete geometry computer activities such as planting...

Explore the concept of odd and even with your class using this resource. Learners take an online test demonstrating their knowledge of odd and even, sing a song about the concept, and engage in computer-based activities.

Students differentiate between exponential growth and decay. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve exponential equations using properties of exponents. They use the Ti calculator to graph and analyze their functions.

Young scholars are introduced to various geometric and numeric patterns. In groups, they work together to determine the next object or number in the pattern. They record their answers on a worksheet and create their own pattern to give...

Students explore how a pattern built with square tiles grows and describe the change from stage to stage. They predict later stages of a tile design sequence and create math equations related to the growth of tile designs.

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The activity includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Domain can be a tricky topic, especially when you relate it to context, but here is a instructional activity that provides concrete examples of discrete situations and those that are continuous. It also addresses where the input values...

Learners interpret data from a three-dimensional array of current monitors to determine an overall pattern of water circulation. They hypothesize what effect an observed water circulation pattern might have on seamount fauna. A very...

Solve problems using integration and derivatives. By using calculus, learners will analyze graphs to find the extrema and change in behavior. They then will identify the end behavior using the derivatives. Activities and handouts are...

Learners look at bands of colors and estimate how many rings of color there are. While working in groups, they come up with a plan of how to accurately count the rings. They attempt to find a pattern in the colors, and decide whether...

Youngsters become flexible problem solvers with this challenging lesson. If there are 24 square tables in a restaurant, how many customers can be seated at one time? They can use manipulatives or draw pictures to help them find the...

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

Do you have young scientists wanting to make new discoveries rather than just completing the same experiments? Young scientists use their observational skills to identify animals and patterns in animal behavior. Through tracking...

Students explore number sense by solving consumer math problems. In this pattern identification lesson, students analyze a list of numerical and geometric patterns while predicting the future outcome. Students utilize inference skills to...

Future mathematicians learn about arithmetic and geometric sequences, as well as common ratios and differences as they complete a worksheet matching sequences with the algebraic expressions that represent them.

Students explore vocal music techniques.  In this vocal music lesson, students follow a series of warmup exercises modeled by the teacher, then participate in specific breathing and vocalizing exercises.

First graders describe and create simple patterns. They identify patterns in the environment. They extend and reproduce patterns.

Second graders define the word pattern and other related vocabulary. They create a pattern independently. Students recognize and extend patterns. They explain how repeated patterns are made. Students explore several patterns on a...

Pupils use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

Learners work with attribute buttons in order to sort, create, and analyze patterns. Students practice identifying patterns and verbalizing the sorting rules and patterns they used. Sample assessments and rubric are provided.
