In this color blocks worksheet, students explore patterns and sequences.  Students determine the number of combinations that can be made before they repeat.  This one-page worksheet contains 1 multi-step problem.

First graders use manipulatives to complete and extend patterns. In this patterns lesson, 1st graders complete a pattern with a missing element, extend a pattern, and sort objects by characteristics.

Fifth graders investigate possible solutions to a word problem. They explore properties of polygons and right angles. Students demonstrate proper angle measurement. Students discover patterns.

Fourth graders play the game, How Does My Pattern Grow, they use shapes to extend patterns of growing flowers. They read the instructions and extending nine patterns. Students are given a paper copy of the follow-up exercises once the...

A solution will work one way or another: find solutions, or use solutions to find the function. Learners use polynomial identities to factor polynomials with complex solutions. They then use solutions and the Zero Product Property to...

While humans have always been on the move, the period between 1400 and 1800 saw vast migrations of people between the East and the West. These migrations—whether through slavery or a desire to colonize new lands—shaped the modern world....

What starts as a basic question of division and remainders quickly turns abstract in this question of related ratios and radii. The class works to surround a central coin with coins of the same and different values, then develops a...

How does the number of sides of a polygon affect the angle measures? Learners recognize a pattern in finding the total measure of interior and exterior angles and the number of diagonals. They use the patterns to calculate...

Mathematics is all about patterns. Young mathematicians analyze geometric patterns to write algebraic expressions. They use the expressions to predict future stages of the patterns.

Students explore patterns. They observe a video, "Math Monsters." Students determine the next item in a sequence. Students read books about patterns. They discuss patterns in quilts. Students visit a specified web site and design...

Students extend linear and directional patterns, identify patterns in classroom and community environments, create original patterns incorporating the senses of sight and sound, and operate video and recording equipment.

Students explore making patterns. For this patterns lesson, students make patterns from the groups they are put in. Students can use items from around the room to make their patterns

Students watch the Cyberchase episode, "The Poddleville Case" and play online games to examine how patterns are sequences that repeat or change in an orderly way. The lesson culminates with students creating their own patterns to use in...

Students explore patterns and identify, extend, and translate color patterns. They discuss the origin and function of Kente cloth from Ghana, and discuss the patterns they see in students' clothing. Students color in a variety of...

Through a variety of physical and theoretical situations, learners are led through the development of some of the deepest concepts in high school mathematics. Complex numbers, the fundamental theorem of algebra and rational exponents...

What better way to make predictions about future weather and climate patterns than with actual climate data from the past? Young climatologists analyze data from 400,000 to 10,000 years ago to determine if climate has changed over...

Your learners engage their five senses every day without knowing it. Help them identify their experiences and extend their understanding with a month full of lessons designed for the five senses. Kids focus on a different sense every...

Young scholars explore the concept of patterning using musical instruments. In this music lesson plan, students identify several instruments and practice playing patterns with them. Young scholars identify the patterning in a musical piece.

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.

In this math worksheet, students examine a pattern of geometric shapes. After looking at the sequence of shapes and deciding what the pattern is, students choose the shape that would come next. There are 4 problems.

In this patterns worksheet, students solve 4 short answer problems. Students find the pattern of adding the digits one through nine and extend that pattern to natural numbers with the same digit in every place. 

Fourth graders work with patterns while using large numbers. In this patterning instructional activity, 4th graders go over the definitions of the words: predict, estimate, attendance, increase, and decrease. They complete worksheets in...

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

Scholars must determine the maximum area for a rectangular plot of land enclosed with 100 meters of rope. As the work they discover patterns and numerical approaches to solve the problem.
