Students investigate the patterns of different data sets of numbers. They use critical thinking skills in order to find the missing numbers in any given set. This lesson helps to develop the skill of number sense.

Students listen to Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss, then identify the patterns.

Fifth graders are given a set of manipulatives to use to develop patterns. In groups, they follow the directions to determine which blocks go with which pattern and put them into the correct sequence. To end the lesson, they complete a...

In this finding patterns worksheet, students use the problem solving strategy of understand, plan, solve, and look back to help them find the pattern in the swimming distances numbers. Students use the pattern to help them solve the word...

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.

Students discover patterns in language, math and science. They experience patterns by hearing stories, and becoming pattern detectives.

Students recognize patterns in a numerical sequence, create new patterns and predict outcomes to established sequences.

Middle schoolers will explore frieze patterns. A frieze pattern is a mathematical concept to classify designs on two-dimensional surfaces, which are repetitive in one direction, based on the symmetries in the pattern. They will explore...

This can be used as a critical thinking exercise in congruence or as a teaching tool when first introducing the concept. Four octagons are arranged in such a way that a square is formed in the middle. With this information, geometry...

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

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

A variety of activities take scholars outside the classroom to explore shapes, symmetry, measurement, patterns, sorting, and time in nature. Learners participate individually, and in teams, to measure found objects, go on a...

Students study patterns. They construct growing patterns using pattern blocks and isosceles right triangles. They verbally describe the patterns and state the rule that describes the relationship involving the number of pattern blocks...

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders draw the shapes that they see in the pattern illustrated. Then they identify which shape comes first, which comes after the circle, and which comes after the square. Students also draw the shape...

First graders practice identifying and creating patterns by using unifix cubes.  For this visual design lesson, 1st graders investigate reoccurring patterns using colors and shapes and extend what is being made with their...

Students use concrete and pictorial representation of geometric patterns to extend patterns. In this geometric patterns lesson plan, students identify patterns and extend them.

Young scholars investigate the elements of a pattern.  In this geometry lesson, students identify different shapes in a pattern and discover which shapes are missing in order to extend it.  Young scholars create their own...

Students identify, extend and create patterns using various types of manipulatives and then work a pattern game in the computer lab to reinforce what was learned.

Students create numerical patterns by using an internet based calculator. In this patterns lesson plan, students complete, create, extend, and record different patterns.

First graders discover that patterns exist in sounds, movement, and objects. For this patterns lesson, 1st graders select two items from a group  and produce an alternating pattern.

Learners participate in determining the completion of patterns and discovering which part of the pattern doesn?????™t belong.

Students use objects and symbols to create original linear patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also translate patterns from one modality to another.

Second graders review the spelling of words with the long O sound. In this phonics lesson, 2nd graders brainstorm words with the long O sound, gain exposure to common long O spelling patterns and sort long O words based upon the spelling...

Sixth graders explore the use of shapes to create geometric patterns. they start with a simple example of dividing shapes in half to create two new ones. This can be extended to creating intricate patterns.
