Students view Elmer Holtzrichter's work Mystery Planet and discuss basic shapes and patterns. They create their own collage. and discuss the patterning they created. Students demonstrate how this pattern would sound with clapping and...

Learners become familiar with the achievements of the artist Faith Ringgold. They take notice of the patterns in their environment. They connect the mathematical concept of patterns to create a class quilt.

Students explore reasons for varied salinity in bodies of water. In this geographical inquiry lesson, students use a variety of visual and written information including maps, data tables, and graphs, to form a hypothesis as to why the...

For this uses of numbers worksheet, students complete nine fill in the blank questions where they describe the use of each given number as position, count, measure, or label. Next students complete 6 number patterns using both counting...

Eighth graders play a game to solve problems. In this exponents and scientific notations lesson, 8th graders play a game in small groups to move colored disks from location A to location C. Students identify recursive patterns to solve...

Students explore patterns and geometric sequencing. Students devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically. Students solve real life problems. They demonstrate, with cardboard pieces, fraction and...

Students explore multiples of consecutive numbers. Given a real life situation, students devise and use problem solving strategies. Students describe what it means for a sequence to carry on to infinity. They locate patterns in...

Here is a lesson outline that prompts elementary students to graph and analyze data regarding fish caught along the Hudson River. They will review vocabulary and complete 2 worksheets which can be accessed by clicking on the provided links.

Get a handle on equivalent fractions through the use of manipulatives. Using area models, sets, and length manipulatives like fraction strips and Cuisenaire rods, the class will gain a deeper understanding of equivalent fractions....

Second graders, through large screen monitor, study geometric design. They participate in a diagnostic assessment in which they use pnecils, scissors and paste.

Young scholars calculate the Fibonacci sequence of numbers. Through the use of Fibonacci numbers in flowers, leaves, fruits, vegetables, pine cones, and other forms of nature; students explore how Fibonacci numbers occur in nature. ...

Pupils investigate the geography located along Route 66. They research how the population patterns change in certain areas along the highway. Students use the information in order to form hypotheses about how and why the population...

In this algebra activity, students identify the nth term of the sequence. They find the missing term in the pattern and what theorem justifies their choice. There are 12 questions.

Using three set of data that relate temperature to another variable, 10th graders will use graphs, tables, or equations to make predictions about data. Students will identify the relations as linear or non-linear. Students will define...

Pupils explore Fibonacci sequences. For this math lesson, students identify the relationship between two numbers. Pupils use Fibonacci sequences to create algebraic equations.

In this what's before, between and after worksheet, students identify the missing number in a sequence. All numbers contain one or two digits and are in a sequence of one. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

Learners identify triangles, circles, and squares, then show their understanding of patterns by continuing a pattern that contains three different elements. They utilize worksheets imbedded in this plan to practice using these shapes.

Learners expand their knowledge of quadrilaterals and identify basic symmetrical forms. Over three weeks, they explore the math, application, and discussion of symmetry. After conducting Internet research, students create symmetrical...

Students study strip patterns and identify symmetry. They create a paper doll chain. They experiment with different shapes. They determine if their chain is a strip pattern. They create snowflakes with triangles.

In this identifying multiples activity, 6th graders identify and complete 15 different patterns of numbers. They circle all the multiples of each number given. Then, students fill in the missing multiple in each pattern found on the...

High schoolers collect car cost comparison data from the "Car Wizard" web site to use as problem solving and for calculations related to math.

Students identify and construct figures that tessellate. They investigate which regular polygons tessellate and how to modify them to make other tessellating figures. Students explore how naturally occurring tessellations have been...

Sixth graders view a video of tessellating an egg shape. They focus upon the problem solving strategies used and how tessellation geometry was used to construct the three dimensional figure. They create their own tiling patterns.

Students use video and the Internet to identify examples of bilateral and radial symmetry in the world around them. They create symmetrical reflection designs using pattern blocks and paper.
