Math pages that involve coloring are fun and can help children differentiate patterns or specific information. They compute single-digit addition problems that result in  sums from 10 to 15. Odd numbers are colored red and even...

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...

In this early childhood pattern recognition instructional activity, students look at 4 sets of patterns and fill in the 2 empty spots in each set with the correct shape to complete the pattern.

In this math patterns learning exercise, students complete 17 shape identification problems that help them recognize shapes and select the answer that continues each pattern.

In this math patterns worksheet, 1st graders identify the shapes in the 6 problems and select the shape that continues each pattern.

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

Second graders explore a bag of mixed pattern blocks. As a class they discuss different attributes of these shapes. In this math lesson, 2nd graders search to find shapes that are similar by placing shapes on top of one another to...

Learners explore geometry by completing a color puzzle. For this shape identification lesson, students utilize deductive reasoning to complete a Google SketchUp puzzle with trapezoid, triangles and rectangular shapes. Learners...

Learners extend, generalize, recognize, and write a variety of patterns using an AppleWorks template and the Inspiration or Kidspiration educational software. This technology-based math lesson is intended for the early elementary classroom.

First graders explore patterns in mathematical context. In this patterns lesson, 1st graders inspect patterns shown to them, copy patterns, complete patterns and create patterns of their own. These patterns are shown by actions, drawing,...

When students explore mathematics through patterns they will build a strong number sense and creative analysis skills. This presentation shows students that 0's, 1's, 2's, 5's, 6's, and 9's all have patterns. Tip: Before revealing each...

There's only one way out of this maze, and youngsters will need to use their shape recognition skills to do it! They follow a three-shape pattern all the way from start to finish to keep on track. Encourage them to say the shapes as they...

Which number is missing? Beginning counters examine twenty-six number sequences, one for each letter of the alphabet. Each sequence has four numbers, ranging from one to 20. There is one number missing from the sequence, and learners...

In this math review for grade 1 (1.1)  worksheet, 1st graders answer 25 multiple choice questions in a standardized test format reviewing skills of addition, patterns, and number order.

Sixth graders explore pattern recognition and sequencing. They create arithmetic and geometric sequences with colors, shapes, and numbers. Students write expressions of arithmetic sequences and geometric sequences to find the nth term.

In this math literacy worksheet, 1st graders practice finding the shapes for each pattern for the five problems. The worksheet could be adapted for numbers also.

In this patterns worksheet, students examine each of five strips of shapes and then decide which of two shapes shown follows the same pattern. Students circle and color the pattern that follows.

So many shapes in our vast oceans. Young explorers can discover new shapes in a variety of ways in this lesson. One way is having free exploration with a pattern shape kit handed out by the teacher. Another is by viewing a...

Students identify different patterns and sequence in a deck of cards. In this algebra lesson, students use reasoning and proof to solve problems. They create different steps to identify and solve their problems.
