Learners examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.

Third graders listen as teacher snaps her fingers in a certain pattern and then join in as they become familiar with the pattern and then repeating it. They observe a patterns of shapes and repeat after the teacher has explained it....

Second graders create an ABAB pattern with their name. In this early elementary math lesson, 2nd graders first model their names in an ABAB pattern with unifix cubes. They then recreate the pattern using letter stamps on KidPix.

Students construct three-dimensional solar system mobiles.

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.

Learners use index cards, counting cubes, and their own understanding to identify how division problems can be solved by using multiplication. In this division lesson plan, students use their multiplication skills to solve division...

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.

Investigate the various properties of the number six with this elementary math lesson. From simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems to the creation of hexagonal tessellations, this lesson covers all aspects of...

Learners explore the concept of linear patterns by moving into different body poses. They also use MathKeys software to create linear patterns across a computer screen. In groups of three they take turns adding to the pattern.

Students are introduced to both celestial coordinates and to the first rung on the distance determination ladder. They convert spherical coordinates to Cartesian coordinates to construct a three dimensional model of a constellation...

This fabulous resource is a must-have for any algebra teacher's arsenal of lessons. Developing the idea of equations and use of variables from basic physical scenarios, learners gain valuable intuition in the structure and meaning of...

It's time for scholars to show what they know about coordinate planes with a collection of three assessments. The exams' objectives include plotting points on a single grid, measuring using the distance formula, and identifying...

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...

First graders create number sentences.  In this math lesson, 1st graders use M&M's to make number sentences.  Students create charts using the color of the M&M's as data.

Students 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.

Help your students identify the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They read the book Round is a Mooncake, and use pattern blocks to sort shapes. Students sort shapes according to their attributes.

Good discussion questions, quizzes, and tests teach as well as assess. Readers of The Great Gatsby will learn much from the materials in a 36-page packet designed to help students prepare for the AP Literature exam. Included in the...

First graders observe and demonstrate a variety of problem solving strategies to solve problems involving one-to-one correspondence and whole numbers to 100. They discuss the steps of the problem solving process, and solve a word...

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

Seventh graders recognize number patterns. As a class, 7th graders discuss strategies for solving number patterns. Given a pattern, they determine the missing terms. They complete a pattern worksheet.

Young mathematicians study the relationship between skip counting and multiplication. They build on skip counting skills and examine arrays while studying multiplication. Resources are provided.

Harness young scientists' knowledge of genetics with an engaging science activity. Students start by flipping a coin to determine the genotypes and phenotypes of two parent monsters, before using Punnett squares to...

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...

First graders describe and create simple patterns. They identify patterns in the environment. They extend and reproduce patterns.
