Students review what a pattern is and they create a pattern on a fish. They are reminded that patterns do not change halfway through and they paint over it with watercolor paints. They display their fish on the walls.

Students read Two Eyes, A Nose, and A Mouth by Roberta Grobel Intrater. They complete a variety of cross-curricular activities surrounding faces and facial features. Included are reading, art, math, science, writing, social studies, and...

Ninth graders investigate the concept of relations and interpret graphs and tables. They analyze given data and look for a pattern to determine if the numbers represent a function. Students practice solving scientific word problems that...

Here's a way to create math fact flash cards! Learners create their own cards and sort them into matching categories. Learners start with addition and work their way up to harder math such as multiplication, and are asked to notice...

Explore the text, Cold and Hot, with comprehension strategies for young readers. First, give them a purpose for reading: find out what the boy wore outside in the snow! Then have them use one-to-one matching and picture clues to...

Just how far off is the least squares line? Using a graphing calculator, individuals or pairs create residual plots in order to determine how well a best fit line models data. Three examples walk through the calculator procedure of...

Students tackle the problem of how to divide a triangular piece of land fairly among four people. They decide whether their method of fair division always works or if it only works in special cases.

In the activity on this webpage, learners use interactive graphing technology to investigate transformations of graphs. In the first part of the task, they look at the graph of a quadratic function with coordinates of a few points...

Young mathematicians join the ancient order of the Pythagoreans by completing an assessment task that asks them to find the area of tilted squares on dot paper. They then look at patterns in the squares to develop the...

Fractions, ratios, and proportions: what do they have to do with segments? Scholars discover the midpoint formula through coordinate geometry. Next, they expand on the formula to apply it to dividing the segment into different...

Find the numbers that the sneaky snakes are hiding! Using a number table, primaries determine which numbers are covered up by snakes. They write in the numbers next to the matching snake below the table, which reinforces both...

Fourth graders utilize fraction bar manipulatives to compare a variety of fractions to the fraction value 1/2. Pupils are put into groups, and they begin to see how fractions that look completely different actually represent the same...

Fourth graders use fraction strips to compare and order fractions. Identify various ways a figure can be divided. Find equivalent fractions. Recognize and order fractions with the denominators 2,3,4,5,6,8,10, and 12.

Learners integrate the patterns of Fibonacci into music. In this geometry lesson, students apply the concepts of recursion, pattern and Phi or Golden Ratio to composing and playing music on various instruments. They lesson is co-taught...

Discover the science behind astronomy. After reading the book Maria's Comet, which is about a young woman who breaks new ground by becoming a female astronomer, young learners practice reading comprehension with...

Here is a learning activity that incorporates a classic puzzle in mathematics. Young mathematicians are guided through a series of statements that describe rounds of pupils opening and closing lockers. The first person opens all 20...

Students write equations if they change the data of the population to find patterns. They look for patterns in the data regarding male to female ratio (using the lowest possible). Students write a short story for the data that changes...

Students conduct experiments and graph their data. In this statistics lesson, students collect data and graph it on a coordinate plane. They analyze the data looking for patterns and they discuss their findings with the class.

Students write equations based on a pattern. In this algebra lesson, students calculate the arithmetic and geometric mean of a sequence. They rewrite word problems as a linear equation and solve real life scenario based on the given data.

Students investigate the given statistics about temperatures in cities around the nation in order to look for a pattern. They measure the mean, median, and mode for the data set of temperatures.

Seventh graders practice using pattern blocks. In this pre-algebra lesson, 7th graders complete tasks that require them to compare fractions, make fractions equivalent, and add fractions.

Students explore geometry by creating jewelry in class. In this polygons lesson, students identify different shapes and characteristics while creating polygon figures from construction paper. Students utilize a multitude of shapes...

In this number sense review for grade 3 worksheet, 3rd graders answer 20 multiple choice questions in standardized test format about third grade math.
