Second graders create an ABAB pattern with their name. In this early elementary math lesson plan, 2nd graders first model their names in an ABAB pattern with unifix cubes. They then recreate the pattern using letter stamps on KidPix.

Fourth graders investigate repeating and growing patterns. Models, graphs and words are used to describe, extend and represent patterns. Students use evidence from models and graphs to support the identification of patterns.

In this patterns worksheet, students analyze a series of geometric shapes and determine the pattern. Students use numbers or letters to represent each pattern.

Students explore the concept of A-B and A-B-B patterns, and show this by creating a pattern with concrete objects and on the Kid Pix Deluxe computer program.

Learners form repeating patterns using tessellations. In this tessellations lesson, students identify shapes and illustrate three types of transformations. A website is included with the lesson which provides extension activities and...

Fifth graders investigate the concept of a function in relationship to how it is used. The concept is essential for the future study of Algebra. They apply the use of patterns with its relationship to functions.

First graders make an "ABB" pattern from macaroni they dyed in a previous lesson. They follow the pattern as they string the macaroni to make a necklace. This lesson is a nice math/social studies tie in.

Students recognize similarities and generalize patterns. In this math and technology lesson plan, students develop an understanding of number patterning by grouping stamps and counting by 10s.

Seventh graders relate patterns with higher math. In this 7th grade math lesson, 7th graders analyze different methods of portraying data. They relate the data to real life scenarios.      

Pupils explore fictional text and poetry. They explore the story structures used in the types of texts and examine the language patterns used. Students practice tracking text in the correct manner.

Students observe the pattern of the inside of a mushroom and write down what they see. For this mushroom lesson plan, students cut a mushroom at the top and draw what they see in the spore of the mushroom.

Fourth graders explore geometry by utilizing pattern blocks. In this pattern lesson, 4th graders analyze two separate pattern block shapes and discuss which one is bigger and smaller. Students collaborate in small groups to create...

First graders explore patterns. They look for patterns in number problems and use algebra as a means of solving general problems. Students devise a strategy to solve the number problem.

Fifth graders will be predicting and describing the results of sliding, flipping, and turning two-dimensional shapes. They will also understand patterns so they can describe, extend, and make generalizations about geometric and numeric...

Students, using manipulatives, determine how many different ways there are to arrange 3 and 4 objects. They organize and record their arrangements. Students investigate the pattern generated by 3 and 4 objects, they predict how many ways...

Students explore competition by participating in a peg race. In this pattern creation lesson, students utilize an egg timer and pegs or colored cubes to create patterns quickly while competing with fellow classmates to finish first....

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...

Use paper strips or models to relate division problems to division of fraction problems. Since the materials can be broken up, it helps them to show how they can complete repeated subtraction with fractions and not just whole numbers.

Here is graphing worksheet which has pupils graph ordered pairs and label the axis. They graph five ordered pairs and then interpret the data in the graph.

Here is a functions instructional activity in which learners solve functions containing variables, graph the coordinates, and answer two questions about it. They complete 14 functions.

Does your langauge arts class journal frequently? Extend one of your journaling activities by having your writers choose a journal entry and take it through the five stages of writing. They will use the attached graphic organizer to...

Sixth graders construct a rule about the number of sides found in a pattern of hexagons. In this mathematical problem solving lesson, 6th graders observe different hexagon patterns and create a rule about the relationship between the...

Students identify and extend a number pattern into very large values. They create and interpret a graph based on their number patterns. Students compare a math model with real-world statistics about the existence of vampires.

Students discover for which kind of linear function is appropriate to use the "scatter" or the "connected" term. In this instructional activity, students investigate functions using variables, patterns book, graph paper, rulers and the...
