Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Fourth graders investigate patterns and sequences.  In this patterns and sequences lesson, 4th graders use a hundreds chart to build recurring patterns.  Students skip count by threes and fives on a hundreds chart by coloring...

This problem-solving PowerPoint includes detailed steps to follow when solving a math story problem. Each slide describes and gives an example of what a student should ask himself and/or what particular strategy would work in order to...

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students investigate exponential growth as they predict the height of a stack of paper formed by tearing one sheet of paper in half over and over again for thirty tears.  The one page...

Number towers use addition or multiplication to ensure each level is equal. While this is common in factoring, it is often not used with algebraic equations. Solving these six questions relies on problem solving skills and being able to...

Learn about patterns in residual plots with an informative math lesson. Two examples make connections between the appearance of a residual plot and whether a linear model is the best model apparent. The problem set and exit ticket...

In this math worksheet, learners learn that a sequence is a set of numbers which follows a mathematical rule. Students look at math sequences and fill in the missing numbers and also explain in words what the pattern is. Some of the...

Help your charges solve a variety of fraction and skip counting problems using a problem solving process. As a class they work through a fraction problem step-by-step, and discuss a real-life connection to the problem. Students then play...

Evaluate patterns of numbers through an engaging task. Scholars work collaboratively to determine a general rule reflecting the sum of consecutive positive integers. Multiple patterns emerge as learners explore different arrangements.

Which number is missing? Beginning counters examine twenty-six number sequences, one for each letter of the alphabet. Each sequence has four numbers, ranging from one to 20. There is one number missing from the sequence, and learners...

Don't just use a fraction of this resource ... use it all. Learners first investigate patterns to determine how to deal with fractional exponents. Individuals then evaluate expressions involving fractional exponents.

Model for your young mathematicians the process for converting repeating decimals to fractions. To demonstrate their understanding of the process, class members then complete and assessment task and participate in an activity matching...

Shuffle the resource into your instructional activity repertoire. Scholars use randomly-generated iPod Shuffle playlists to develop ideas about randomness. They use a new set of playlists to confirm their ideas, and then decide whether...

In this patterns worksheet, students analyze a series of shapes and look for the pattern. Students draw the missing shape that belongs in the blank. There are 6 questions on the page.

Young scholars investigate a numerical pattern and look for evidence of mathematical patterns in nature. They solve puzzles and work with a partner to predict sequential numbers in a series.

Students study the Manduca bug and its growth data. They look for patterns and compare their own growth rate to that of the Manduca.

Upper elementary and middle schoolers describe the various features of unit cubes, such as edges, corners, and faces. They also discuss how to represent measurements of a cube using exponents before engaging in various thinking and...

Students are introduced to the concept of scatter plots after reviewing the various types of graphs. In groups, they analyze the type of information one can receive from a scatter plot and identify the relationship between the x and y...

Research data analysis by creating charts in class. Define the differences between an "average" and "range" while examining measurement data based on student height. Utilize computer software to create a height graph which is shared with...

Fifth graders investigate growth patterns using blocks. In this square and triangle numbers lesson, 5th graders predict sizes of larger triangles and squares based on numerical patterns they observed while building. 

Third graders perform a line dance in the study of math as a pattern. They create and discuss movement solutions derived from movement exploration. They observe that patterns exist in the areas of music and dance and follow the...

In this pattern math worksheet, students read a word problem and determine the pattern in order to solve the problem correctly. Students then write about how they got their answer and how they know it is correct.

In this addition and subtraction pattern enrichment instructional activity, 2nd graders follow the given rule to fill in the pattern boxes. They examine the patterns as they add and subtract with two digit numbers, and write a sentence...
