Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

In this pattern activity, students determine why a "friend" likes or dislikes certain things.  Students are presented with a list of likes and dislikes.

Learning their multiplication facts is a big step in the education of young mathematicians. Help achieve this goal with the support of this collection of instructional materials.

For this patterns worksheet, students read the four steps to find the next three terms in a math sequence. Students find the pattern and write the next three terms in 13 problems.

Students identify a number pattern and extend the number sequence. They make generalizations given a specific pattern and create, describe, and extend patterns. They create a table that describes a function rule for a single operation...

Students read a story and write math problems.  In this reading and math comprehension lesson plan, students preview and read the book "One is a Snail, Ten is a Crab".  Students predict ways to get a sum of 11, write math...

Fe, phi, fo, fum. This activity leads pairs to find the ratio of consecutive terms of the Fibonacci sequence. The pairs find that the Fibonacci sequence can be found in many places. A discussion with the class shows that the ratios...

Four sequences are missing some numbers; can your scholars fill them in? These aviation-themed number sequences require skip counting and counting backward. Beside each pattern learners can reference a jumbled set of numbers inside a...

Fifth graders build increasingly larger squares and triangles using pattern blocks. They record the growth patterns on a chart and look for corresponding numerical patterns. Students describe the patterns they find and use them to...

Teach the class how to continue a given number pattern, and have them state a rule to explain their answer. Arithmetic sequences and related worksheets are used to reinforce the concept of numerical patterns using the nthterm.

Don't allow those polynomial functions to misbehave! Understand the end behavior of a polynomial function based on the degree and leading coefficient. Learners examine the patterns of even and odd degree polynomials and apply them to...

Who knew two hands could solve so many problems? Kids learn the 9's times tables trick with their fingers, then work through a series of 9's related math problems intended on building strong number sense and pattern recognition. Great...

Sometimes what seems like the easiest problem is really the most difficult. Your class is first going to reach for their calculators, but will realize the number is too large to evaluate. Now what? This is where the fun and the...

Play a game of capture the points. Young scholars receive a number line with specific points graphed and must write an inequality that captures all the points. The second task of the algebra project is to write an inequality with...

Fourth and fifth graders make predictions using data. In this analyzing data lesson, pupils use experimental data, frequency tables, and line plots to look for patterns in the data in order to determine chance. You will need to make a...

Fifth graders look at actual sunrise and sunset times for their hometown to determine a pattern in the amount of daylight. They collect their data in Excel and create a chart to help them identify the pattern, then write an explanation...

Investigate the relationship between height and arm span. Young statisticians measure the heights and arm spans of each class member and create a scatter plot using the data. They draw a line of best fit and use its slope to explain the...

It's amazing the complex figures that can be made using only a few simple shapes. Following a class reading of the children's book Grandfather Tang's Story by Ann Tompert, young mathematicians use sets of tangrams to create models...

Boxing takes on a whole new meaning! The second installment of the three-part series has groups create lidless boxes from construction paper that can hold the most rice. After testing out their constructions, they build a new box....

Predict the future of education through a mathematical analysis. Using a project-based learning strategy, classes examine the pattern of student-to-teacher ratios over a period of years. Provided with the relevant data, learners create a...

In this deductive reasoning worksheet, 10th graders solve 6 various problems applying deductive reasoning to each. First, they determine if a valid conclusion can be reached from the 2 true statements using the Law of Detachment or the...

In this circus pattern activity, students analyze 5 rows of circus pictures. Each row has a pattern or specific sequence. Students cut and paste the next picture that would follow.

This resource is the last of a four-part series that practices calculating percents based on data represetned in tables. This page has four multiple choice problems that analyze the data tables to answer a question.
