Seventh graders use toothpicks to investigate a series of designs and identify patterns. Data is organized and analyzed using tables and graphs, and students make generalizations using algebraic expressions.

Second graders work with different types of patterns. In this pattern instructional activity, 2nd graders go to a pattern block webpage and use Unifix cubes to create their own patterns. They find patterns in the real world and draw...

Students create a pattern. In this patterns lesson, students review the meaning of symmetry and explore using pattern blocks. Students look for patterns in real quilts, photographs and pictures. Students work independently to plan a...

Fifth graders, after discussing the teacher's handout examples, practice writing five story problems about mammals using relevant/irrelevant information. As a class, they solve the story problems while identifying the key concepts that...

In this scary mathematics worksheet, young mathematicians identify which of the patterns on the sheet are cursed. They fix the number that does not follow the pattern rule in each set.

In this writing equations worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 6 different problems that include various patterns. First, they read and identify relations of equations and the difference between successive values of x and y. Then,...

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

Teach children how to make a multiplication table, and they'll be multiplying for life. Following this series of steps, young mathematicians learn to use patterns and the relationships between numbers to create...

Math and science come alive in this career-related lesson on sanitation. Along the way, learners explore bacterial growth rates using exponential notation and graphs. A link to a very brief, but vivid video shows just how quickly these...

Learners find out the meaning for prefixes used in math vocabulary. By dissecting words used in everyday math, they figure out what the prefix indicates and what the word means. A variety of well-organized worksheets and activities...

Students identify patterns in equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students write equations of problems with recurring patterns. They relate and model real life situation using functions.

Elementary mathematicians identify and share patterns found in multiplication. Through memorization drills and games, they identify the increments in which numbers increase when multiplying. Using a multiplication chart, learners...

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 explore number sense by solving consumer math problems. In this pattern identification lesson plan, students analyze a list of numerical and geometric patterns while predicting the future outcome. Students utilize inference...

Budding mathematicians identify growing patterns in numbers and songs then create their own patterns. They look at number patterns and language patterns and then create their own using money and footprints.

In a detailed format, this plan walks learners through an introduction to place value. They explore place value words and concepts and recognize patterns in the number system. Students identify a number when given a number word. They use...

In this shape patterns learning exercise, students identify the shape pattern in each example. Students select the shape that comes next in the 5 patterns.

In this shape patterns worksheet, students identify the shape patterns within each example and draw the missing shapes to complete the 14 patterns.

Engage scholars in a ratio lesson that employs real-world scenarios. Learners will compare the length and width of pictures and use a table to identify ratio patterns. They watch "Math Can Take You Places" and discuss jobs that use math...

Pupils analyze a pattern of conference tables to determine the number of tables needed and the number of people that can be seated for a given size. Individuals develop general formulas for the two growing number patterns and...

Build number sense and make learning multiples a simple task with this helpful presentation. The multiples of two, five, and ten are represented first as number patterns. Learners will be able to construct rules based on what they see....

Patterns, patterns, everywhere! Young scholars examine the multiplication table to identify patterns. Their exploration leads to an understanding of the difference of squares and sum of cubes by the completion of the algebra project.

Eighth graders explore exponents and look for patterns that help to determine the ones place when the base is raised to any power. They use trial and error and seek general solutions. Also, identify patterns in a number sequence.

Students gain an understanding of the value and importance of patterns in mathematics. Through video, interaction and hands-on activities, students identify concrete and abstract patterns incorporating logic and deductive and inductive...
