Repeating Patterns
Learners explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.

Extending Pattern Understandings
Learners use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.

Investigation-How Many Toothpicks?
Seventh graders use toothpicks to investigate a series of designs and identify patterns. Data is organized and analyzed using tables and graphs, and students make generalizations using algebraic expressions.

ExplorA-Pond:3rd Grade Shapes & Fractions
Students, using a map, drawing or aerial view of a pond, represent the shape of the pond using simple geometric shapes or fractions of those shapes. They identify the numerator and denominator in each fraction created.

Relationships Round Robin
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.
Curated OER
Number Patterns
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.
Curated OER
Patterns to the Rescue
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...
Curated OER
Jumping Rules
First graders practice identifying number patterns. In this basic patterns lesson, 1st graders use a large number line and jump to certain numbers to create, identify or extend a pattern. This lesson includes a script to guide the teacher.

Attributes and Patterns with Buttons
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.
Curated OER
LET'S PARTY!
Learners identify a number pattern and extend the number sequence. They make generalizations given a specific pattern and create, describe, and extend patterns. They create a table that describes a function rule for a single operation...
Curated OER
Table Settings
Learners make organized lists and find patterns to help them solve problems. They draw table formations and label how many people can sit there. They make predictions about how the tables be set up and what happen to the seating.
