After examining winning entries to the Nicholas A. Virgilio Memorial Haiku Competition, young poets try their hand at this fixed form.

Time to put it all together! Building on the concepts learned in the previous lessons in this series, learners apply the Remainder Theorem to finding zeros of a polynomial function. They graph from a function and write a function from...

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...

Fourth graders play a game clarifying when a game is "fair". They play in pairs stressing that the idea that they work out a winning strategy for the first player. They look for patterns to suggest that they start with a smaller number...

Students study patterns. In this symmetry in nature activity, students examine objects to determine what type of symmetry they have. They work in small groups to rotate through stations that have objects for them to study.

Learners create, transform, and critique their own piece of artwork. In doing this lesson, students get more experience working with angles, lines, and measurement. They gain experience seeing, and creating their own patterns and shapes.

Pupils participate in an activity to discover patterns. They make cutouts of bones and decorate them in patterns. They work together in pairs and removes the number of bones they roll on the die. They also practice writing their numbers.

Students view and discuss a video about the use of pattern block shapes to form pictures. They, in groups, form garden and quilt designs using pattern blocks and then decorate the room with their art.

Students define examples of patterns and explore the makeup and purpose of patterns found in nature. They create models illustrating the patterns researched in class and relaying the purpose of patterns in various natural objects.

Students explore patterns and identify, extend, and translate color patterns. They discuss the origin and function of Kente cloth from Ghana, and discuss the patterns they see in students' clothing. Students color in a variety of...

Students explore math in nature. In this lesson on the Fibonacci sequence, students use natural objects and Fibonacci numbers to discover mathematical patterns.

Students experiment with different kinds of marking techniques. They read "Where the Wild Things Are" and observe animals for pattern and line. They compare illustrations with Haring's images. They create a symbolic drawing of animal.

Students examine the art form of Mexican paper cutting and discover how to make a pattern. After reading the book "Look What Came From Mexico", they discuss Mexican folk art and view some samples. Individually they create a Mexican...

In this variety of mathematical strategies worksheet, 4th graders figure out the best strategy in drawing the next figure in a sequenced pattern and then draw the 10th figure in the same pattern. Students answer one word problem.

In this binomial worksheet, students explore the difference of squares method to multiply binomials. This two-page worksheet contains ten problems.

Students investigate the concept of symmetry. They use cut out shapes that are folded in order to practice identifying the lines of symmetry. The lesson is observed by the teacher working with students for the purpose of scaffolding and...

Students create a drawing of a word containing the sound /ee/. They are introduced to the /ee/ vowel pattern that comprise the long /ee/ vowel sound. They practice listening for and reading a variety of words containing the long vowel...

Students recognize how vowel patterns change a short vowel sound into a long vowel sound. With an emphasis on the /oo/ that makes the long U sound, students identify the phoneme and letter combination through listening and matching...

Fifth graders explore the inverse proportional relationship and direct proportional relationship. They complete division chart showing the inverse relationship and direct relationship. Students are shown that division problems can be...

Learners explore scientific notation and the structure of the metric system.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students read How Much is a Million? by David M. Schwartz to introduce learners to the need for scientific...

In this counting practice worksheet, students cross out the boxes to show the same number in the picture. Students study the pictures, count the items, and answer the questions by writing the correct number on the blank. Students...
