Engage young mathematicians in learning about fractions with this cross-curricular math and music activity. After listening to and repeating different beat patterns, children realize that musical notes are just another way of...

What's special about your neighborhood? Build one with your class to find out. Individuals create their dream homes that, when completed, will be placed together around a green space in order to create a neighborhood. Learners also...

Young scientists roll up their sleeves and get a little dirty in this three-day earth science investigation. Following the scientific method, children monitor the growth of algae in pond water samples in order to determine...

Kick-start children's education with this pre-school math unit. Offering 31 different hands-on learning activities that develop young mathematicians' pattern and shape recognition, basic number sense, and much more, this is a...

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...

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

Learners explore two- and three-dimensional shapes.  In this very busy spider lesson plan, students read the story and then create a spider web pattern of their own. The webs must use a symmetrical pattern.  Additional...

Students practice extending patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students demonstrate extending patterns by performing a rhythmic patter.

Budding mathematicians identify growing patterns in numbers and songs then create their own patterns. They look at number patterns and language patterns and then create their own using money and footprints.

Second graders work with different types of patterns. In this pattern lesson, 2nd graders go to a pattern block webpage and use Unifix cubes to create their own patterns. They find patterns in the real world and draw their own...

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...

In this online number sequences activity, students work out the answers to eight comprehensive exercises with thirty-eight calculations involving a variety of sequences. Students answers are automatically graded online as they go and...

Students explore simple patterns.  In this mathematical thinking geometry lesson, students repeat clapping and snapping patterns, and determine what comes next in sound and movement patterns.  Students recite "Hey, Diddle,...

Begin your study of single-digit numbers with this activity on the number one. Young counters first trace and write the digit several times. Next, they practice counting by recording how many objects are in each image (always one)....

Learners listen to story Dinosaurs Dancing, use dinosaur counters to identify, copy, create and extend pattern that is repeated at least three times, and complete web lesson.

Students 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.

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Fifth graders examine how to see patterns by showing how things work together. They identify, analyze and determine a rule for predicting and extending numberical patterns involving operations of whole numbers, decimals and fractions.

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

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...

Scholars learn about the carbon cycle, play a carbon cycle game, and then write a story based on their role as a carbon atom during the game. After the writings, pupils analyze the carbon cycle by leading a class discussion on the material.

In this 2-day lesson focused on exponents, middle schoolers will cross the curriculum by engaging in science, history and language arts activities. Exponential growth will be explored using grains of rice on a chess board. Exponential...

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders explore number and geometric patterns and use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to find the prime numbers less than one hundred.  The six page worksheet contains eight multipart questions. ...

Students identify and reproduce simple patterns (e.g., red blocks alternating with blue blocks; clap-clap-stamp) and create and extend simple patterns using a variety of materials or actions (e.g., popsicle sticks, pebbles, stickers,...
