Students create an leaf print banner, and classify, sort and find patterns in the leaves as they work.

Students create leaf print banner for parents' night. They sort, classify, and pattern the leaves as they work.

Learners investigate different geometric patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.

Students repeat patterns while listening to music. In this patterning lesson, students listen to a pattern on a tape of music and reproduce it by clapping or stamping their feet. They listen to stories about famous composers.

Fourth graders explore patterns by participating in a class math activity. In this early algebra lesson, 4th graders utilize a die and chart to keep record of a snake game in which students must utilize a math function to solve a problem...

Third graders develop their algebraic thinking by recognizing a variety of patterns using concrete objects, numbers, tables, and pictures. In this George and Sam Save for a present lesson, 3rd graders communicate their mathematical...

Get children's blood pumping with this primary grade instructional activity on the human heart. After learning about the important role this muscle plays in the human body, students monitor their heart rates and discover the...

Students identify, extend, and create patterns of sounds, physical movements, and concrete objects. They brainstorm patterns found in the classroom. Students use mathematical attributes to identify patterns and predict what comes next.

Young scholars describe a wide variety of classification schemes and patterns related to physical characteristics and sensory attributes of people. They recognize, extend and create a wide variety of those patterns and relations.

Students discover patterns in linear equations by playing a dice game to collect data. They graph the data and analyze the patterns of the lines created by the data. The class then compares the individual graphs to evaluate the position...

Fourth graders study the settlement of Alabama. They collect data from the U.S. census website and answer questions regarding settlement patterns in the counties of Alabama in 1820. They write a paagraph describing where they would have...

Students explore number patterns and relationships while being introduced to the calculator at the same time.

Mary needs help sorting her snails! Each snail has one of three distinct patterns on its shell, and scholars sort each into the proper category. Then, they count the number of snails in each pattern group (triangles, circles, and zigzag)...

What happens when you multiply an odd number by an odd number? Scholars find out as they focus on patterns and number attributes while solving 48 multiplication problems. The first set has them multiply two odd numbers and record what...

Challenge your writers to improve their writing by introducing them to 10 strategies they can use to vary their sentence structures. Each strategy is described and examples given. Pupils then create their own sentences using this...

U.S. immigration is the focus of a unit on social justice. Over the course of a school year, young historians read a variety of texts to learn about four waves of immigration that have occurred over time in the U.S. An emphasis on...

Students perform activities to recreate the exploration of the sea bottom. They attach magnets to the bottom of the remote controlled car to see how many camouflaged objects it can pick up. As a class, students examine the results of...

Seventh graders investigate a series of triangles, looking for patterns and generalizing what they have found. They analyze the pattern data and organize it into a table and graph. Students identify the relationship and discover the rule...

Students view a video to discover how patterns in nature relate to math. They explore the concept of exponential growth by observing and creating fractals. They solve and design word problems.

Fifth graders investigate the symmetry of pattern block shapes. Students, working in groups determine whether each shape has line symmetry, rotational symmetry or both kinds of symmetry. Students determine how many lines of symmetry the...

What kinds of birds live in your area? Read a book about birds to your learners and explore their feeding patterns. Charts and graphs are provided in this three page packet, but consider assigning the basic questions if using with young...

Fourth graders use triangle paper to design patterns using geometric figures and find the areas of those figures by counting units. Students are assessed by determining which figure has the greatest area and explaining their reasoning.

Young scholars practice grouping skills by sorting footwear of the class as a whole group. Activity can be extended by having individual students sort a variety of colored items using a sorting mat.

The class explores even and odd numbers.They discuss the results when even numbers are added and when odd numbers are added together. Then work in pairs to find other odd and even pattern examples.
