Students explore circular functions. They identify the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of circular functions. Students analyze phenomena described by sine waves and they find mathematical models for transforming images...

Students investigate the concept of tessellations and how they are formed using angles. They categorize how different patterns do and not tessellate and separate them into two different places for assessment. The teacher draws examples...

Second graders work on the problem with a partner. They examine what they are supposed to be doing. They share the students's solutions making sure than they are looking for patterns along the diagonals.

Tenth graders identify homogeneous tessellations. In this model-based instructional activity, 10th graders make and identify homogeneous tessellations, both regular and semi-regular.

Ninth graders play guess my shape (either describe or use a feely bag to introduce the 3 shapes in the problem.) As they are identified put them in an order as shown in the problem. As the students work on the problem in pairs teacher...

Students look for patterns to solve problems involving statistics using different colored gumballs. They should be able to look for and find out all the possible outcomes based upon inference and trials.

Students generate patterns from a structured situation, find a rule for the general term, and express it in words and symbols. They also devise and use problem solving strategies in a systematic way.

Learners practice identifying even numbers. In this even numbers lesson, students identify the pictures of even numbers, complete multiplication equations, and answer even and odd number riddles.

Students learn what prime and composite numbers are. They learn how to identify them by working in a group and demonstrating an understanding of one work problem with 100% accuracy using the manipulatives provided.

Students clap four-beat rhythm patterns containing whole, half, dotted half, quarter, and eighth notes and rests in a given tempo. They clap the tempo as their teacher holds up flash cards.

Learners explore the environmental factors that influence where fish live and determine the makeup of fish communities in the Hudson. They interpret guided observations and measurements to assess patterns, sequences and relationships.

Third graders identify analogous and contemporary colors on the color wheel and identify the five facts about the quilts, women, and community of Gees Bend. Finally, 3rd graders pinned their fabric pieces to the copy paper in the exact...

Students create wrapping clothes using paper or cloth scraps being sure to find or make geometric shapes. They create a visually balanced composition including symmetry,and repeated patterns.

Students use Hudson River salinity data to create a line graph that shows the location of the salt front, and use math skills to explore how this location varies over time. They use the graph to estimate the location of the salt front...

Learners figure out and discuss the irony of this coin-centric poem. They also practice persuasive letter writing, and identify and count coin/money values.

Students identify a guitar, piano, trumpet, flute, drum, and a violin by sight and sound. They view pictures of each instrument as they are played on a recording, discuss how each instrument makes their particular sound, and listen to...

Fifth graders take addition timed tests every day for a two week period. Using the data from the timed tests, they create a bar graph using Microsoft Excel computer software, a personal bar graph using graph paper and colored pencils,...

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

First graders participate in various activities dealing with measurement, length, volume, and temperature. They identify the need for standard units of measure, sort and classify objects, measure distances, and use a thermometer.

Students identify the characteristics of aerosols. Using remote sensing, they participate in an experiment in which they determine how the sun's radiation and elements in the atmosphere interact with one another. They also research the...

Students use tables of fish collection data to draw conclusions about where fish live in the Hudson Estuary. Given available data they interpret organized observations and measurements and recognize simple patterns, sequences, and...

Students identify polygons. For this geometric shapes lesson, students identify and describe polygons. Students create new shapes out of the shapes they are given.

Students identify polygons and calculate perimeter. For this geometric shapes lesson, students complete a worksheet identifying various polygons and calculating the perimeter of triangles and quadrilaterals.

Students identify and create shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, students identify various polygons and try to create new shapes using existing polygons.
