Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Students use input / output tables to help them solve algebraic equations. They use patterns and relations to represent and analyze mathematical situations using algebraic symbols.

Students investigate different geometric patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.

Learners practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. In this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

Discover how to analyze architecture from a geometric standpoint. The fourth installment of an 11-part unit on architecture first provides a presentation on axis, balance, basic form, formal, pattern, proportion, symmetry, and tripartite...

Practice using different ways to express a single pattern. The class uses concrete, pictorial, and numerical modes to represent patterns found in a simple rhyme. They will move their bodies, use body percussion, draw, and use numbers to...

Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.

Students use index cards, counting cubes, and their own understanding to identify how division problems can be solved by using multiplication. In this division lesson plan, students use their multiplication skills to solve division...

Fourth graders use pattern blocks and fraction identification cards to create and identify fractions. In this fractions lesson plan, 4th graders identify fractions in a pizza, and make fractions with markers.

Which water creature is the biggest? Youngsters look at an image of a big shell, then draw a bigger shell next to it. They do the same for a big fish. Next, learners practice with the superlative as they circle the biggest duck and frog....

Students practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane while participating in a discussion about the Possible Or Not worksheet/activity. Students also use the Impossible Graphs worksheet to practice reading a graph,...

Students celebrate the 100th day of school with a variety of math and language arts activities based on the number 100. They make books, count objects, and draw their predictions about life 100 years from now. They also estimate the...

You have to love lessons that foster problem solving strategies. This one has upper graders devise and employ their own strategy to solve given problems after they have used classics like guess/check, substitution, make a table, and look...

Graph inequalities and discuss the difference in their slopes. Learners observe rate of change as they compare linear, quadratic, and cubic functions.

Students play a memory game as they explore reasoning. In this algebra lesson, students identify concepts using pictures and words. They model real life scenarios using hands on manipulatives.

In this limit worksheet, students review limits stated as an expression, analyze Euler's method applied to a rate equation, compute the terms of a given sequence, and identify a sequence as a convergence or divergence. this four-page...

Students explore the elements of tempo, beat and rhythm. They create rhythm patterns and an original dance. In groups, students perform their phrases for their peers. As a class, they explore choreographic principles, processes and...

In this word problems instructional activity, learners read the word problems and use multiple operations to solve the problems. Students complete 5 word problems.

Learners identify relation, function, patterns and range. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic equations. They use transformation to move the parabola around and make predictions.

High schoolers identify the pattern changes that could occur in a series using pictures with dots. They use the patterns on the worksheets to have a context to describe pattern in words. Students look to find the linear, quadratic, or...

Fifth graders use spreadsheets.

Students use equations to represent practical situations. They solve linear equations and quadratic equations. The use of problem solving strategies is also developed.

Middle schoolers explore change represented in graphs comparing distance and time. They exchange and share their graphs. Students interpret and create distance versus time line-graphs, and write stories based on these graphs. They...

In this order of operations instructional activity, students evaluate twelve expressions using the order of operations.  The solutions are provided.
