Explore plot structure by analyzing text samples with writers. They define terms such as problem and solution, cause and effect, and story arc. They also identify the sequences used in modern stories by reading samples and determining...

Fourth graders develop strategies for identifying geometric and number patterns. For this mathematical patterns lesson, 4th graders use pattern blocks to make repeating patterns with numbers and shapes. Students then explore number...

Students recognize shapes and repeating shapes can make a pattern. In this patterns lesson, students identify pictures of shapes as patterns or not patterns. Students describe how the pattern is made.

Second graders identify number patterns. For this number lesson, 2nd graders find the rule or pattern in a group of numbers and continue the pattern using the rule. They create their own number pattern by making their own rule. 

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 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.

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

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.

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...

Sixth graders explore pattern recognition and sequencing. They create arithmetic and geometric sequences with colors, shapes, and numbers. Students write expressions of arithmetic sequences and geometric sequences to find the nth term.

In this math review worksheet, students complete problems involving patterns, measurements, and greatest common factors. Students complete 7 problems.

Fifth graders receive a brief history of Pascal's triangle. As a class the students construct the first few rows of the triangle. The students are then split into groups where they finish a worksheet identifying the total value of each...

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

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

Eighth graders identify organizational patterns in their tests. Individually, they list five major organizational patterns and write a definition of each one. Students, in groups, assign responsibilities and complete assignment sheets...

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

Students create their own patterns. They discuss the reasons why Easter eggs are used in Easter celebrations. They also identify the elements of literature.

Coordinate graphs can be used for a variety of purposes. In this basic worksheet on coordinate graphing, 4th graders learn how to identify points and patterns on a graph. This worksheet could be used as a follow up to a lesson on...

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

Students utilize skittles and unifix cubes to practice the recognition and creation of a variety of patterns. The created patterns are copied onto sheets and the colors are labeled.

Learners create patterns. In this math activity, students complete and create patterns using pattern blocks or disks. Learners analyze the patterns they see.

Students weave construction paper to create a placemat that displays a pattern.

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

Fourth graders recognize patterns in a series of numbers and symbols. They also make their own patterns and explain them in writing. After practicing with a worksheet imbedded in this plan, 4th graders attempt to make up their own number...
