Pupils analyze a pattern of conference tables to determine the number of tables needed and the number of people that can be seated for a given size. Individuals develop general formulas for the two growing number patterns and...

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

Students listen to the teacher read a book and participate with guided questions. They discuss patterns and how they repeat, by looking at quilts. They design their own quilt block to create a class quilt.

Students discuss and create their own patterns. They practice and improve on making patterns of their own using red, white, and blue paper for a national theme. The symbols are based on what the teacher picks for the class.

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...

Youngsters become flexible problem solvers with this challenging lesson. If there are 24 square tables in a restaurant, how many customers can be seated at one time? They can use manipulatives or draw pictures to help them find the...

Give your class a concrete example of exponential growth and decay using this hands-on activity. These Algebra II lessons allow for the exploration of exponential growth and decay models, as well as the discovery of the patterns of...

Geometry in life-sized dimensions! Using enlarged graph paper, pupils perform a series of transformations. By recording the initial and final placement of the images, they are able to analyze the patterns in the coordinates during a...

It's never too early to begin a child's math education. This collection of fun hands-on activities engage youngsters in building their number sense as they learn how to count objects, identify numerals, compare amounts, and much more.

How do you fit a tape measure around the Earth? No need if you know a little geometry! Pupils begin by extending their understanding of the Side Splitter Theorem to a transversal cut by parallel lines. Once they identify the...

Students look around classroom and identify any patterns they see, describe patterns and explain why they are patterns, use pencil to demonstrate arithmetic patterns by tapping, practice predicting patterns by using Function Box, and...

Third graders examine how to solve in and out function problems, or mystery numbers. They analyze a variety of mystery number problems together and extend the patterns. Students then independently complete a Mystery Number activity...

Fifth graders explore and examine how to make organized lists and find patterns to help them solve problems. They identify, analyze and determine a rule for predicting and extending numerical patterns involving operations of whole...

Students explore the concept of A-B and A-B-B patterns, and show this by creating a pattern with concrete objects and on the Kid Pix Deluxe computer program.

Seventh graders identify the use of a function.They are asked to describe the input and output of a function. Students also identify different aspects of the coordinate system and represent functions in a visual graph.

Seventh graders explore lines of symmetry, congruent polygons and patterns. They listen to "The Seasons Sewn," observe a PowerPoint presentation, and identify congruent polygons and visual patterns. Through an internet activity, 7th...

Students imagine they are animals in the Palace Facade painting. In this Palace Facade lesson plan, students observe and discuss the geometric and organic shapes in the painting shown to them.

Students identify, extend, and create patterns of sounds, physical movements, and concrete objects. They brainstorm patterns found in the classroom. Students use mathematical attributes to identify patterns and predict what comes next.

Students identify the pattern changes that could occur in a series using pictures with dots. They use the patterns on the worksheets to have a context to describe pattern in words. Students look to find the linear, quadratic, or...

Fourth graders investigate repeating and growing patterns. Models, graphs and words are used to describe, extend and represent patterns. Students use evidence from models and graphs to support the identification of patterns.

Learners form repeating patterns using tessellations. In this tessellations lesson, students identify shapes and illustrate three types of transformations. A website is included with the lesson which provides extension activities and...

Students explore gingerbread stories. In this poetry lesson, students read the folk tale "The Gingerbread Man" as well as Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett and identify rhyming words. Students also make art projects, dramatize the stories,...

Seventh graders relate patterns with higher math. In this 7th grade math lesson, 7th graders analyze different methods of portraying data. They relate the data to real life scenarios.      

Students explore what the sky looks like at different times. They identify objects in the sky and recognize changes over time. Students observe the sky and look for objects that are common in both the daytime and the nighttime sky.
