Create geometric art in your classroom. Learners use a ruler to mark lines on their paper, they then trace a lid to create a series of circles. They color in each circle using two tones or colors to create an interesting visual...

Apple, banana, apple, banana...what's next? Youngsters practice recognizing patterns using these object sequences. For the first four patterns, they examine the start of a set, find the pattern, and complete the subsequent drawings in...

Students watch "Cyberchase: The Poddleville Case" and analyze patterns. They complete a patterns assignment worksheet and then they make up patterns using numbers, shapes or colors, for their classmates to solve. They use patterns to...

Learners explore, discover, compare, and contrast arithmetic and geometric sequences in this collaborative, hands-on activity. They build and analyze growing patterns to distinguish which kind of sequence is represented by a set of data...

Engage youngsters in exploring the wonderful world of shapes with this series of cut-and-paste activities. Offering a variety of materials from printable pattern blocks to a series of matching exercises, this resource will have your...

Can you figure out the code? Learners interpret ten number patterns and write the five numbers that come next. Next, they create their own number patterns based on their own codes.

The Happy Game will make your students smile! They play this game to review basic math concepts such as, finish the pattern, even and odd numbers, addition, subtraction, and word problems. Tip: Use this PowerPoint as a template to create...

Combine algebraic and geometric strategies to find solutions. The task asks learners to find the coordinates of a third vertex of a triangle to create a triangle with a specific area. The project is a set of seven problems that...

What starts as a basic question of division and remainders quickly turns abstract in this question of related ratios and radii. The class works to surround a central coin with coins of the same and different values, then develops a...

Students explore how math can be used to calculate and analyze how electricity causes air pollution. Students design a campaign to educate family members on ways they can save electricity. They create a graph that compares two electric...

Learners practice their number sense throughout the day. They practice their use and understanding of numbers in every part of the day. Students watch and listen to the teacher count students in class, sort themselves based on colors or...

And the beat goes on. The installment of the Math at the Core: Ratios series introduces time signatures in music. A musician shows the relationship between different types of musical beats. Working in pairs, classmates create beat...

Young scholars learn how to make patterns. Students first display their prior knowledge of patterns before delving into the lesson. They complete a worksheet and participate in a web-based class activity. They work in cooperative groups...

Students explore simple patterns.  In this mathematical thinking geometry lesson, students repeat clapping and snapping patterns, and determine what comes next in sound and movement patterns.  Students recite "Hey, Diddle,...

Students create a pattern out of pattern blocks. In this math lesson, students work with a partner to investigate the pattern they have. Within that group, students continue to design the pattern by adding the next two pieces....

First graders participate in hands-on activities and use objects to create patterns. They observe a PowerPoint instructional activity describing matching objects and patterns. In groups, 1st graders complete geometry computer activities...

Students explore one-to-one correspondence. Through activities, students examine rhythm and patterns. From the patterns discovered, students create a visual representation of the pattern with blocks.

Fifth graders use a software program to practice their problem solving skills. As a class, they identify patterns in their days at school and review problem solving patterns in math. They solve different problems and discover that the...

Students identify and reproduce simple patterns (e.g., red blocks alternating with blue blocks; clap-clap-stamp) and create and extend simple patterns using a variety of materials or actions (e.g., popsicle sticks, pebbles, stickers,...

Pupils explore the concept of patterning. In this patterns lesson, students use recycled plastic tab closures as well as their problem solving skills to identify and create patterns.

Third graders use addition to create numbers that are palindromes and organize their results to look for patterns. They make generalizations from patterns and practice reading large numbers and addition with regrouping.

Students explore patterns, identify patterns, and complete a variety of patterns. They view and discuss an online video and identify the different patterns from the film, then using a hundreds grid create an original pattern using their...

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Build tables by understanding their structure. Scholars take a closer look at the structure of ratio tables in the 10th segment in a 29-part series. Individuals realize that the tables can be built using an additive or...
