Third graders listen as teacher snaps her fingers in a certain pattern and then join in as they become familiar with the pattern and then repeating it. They observe a patterns of shapes and repeat after the teacher has explained it....

First graders use manipulatives to complete and extend patterns. In this patterns lesson, 1st graders complete a pattern with a missing element, extend a pattern, and sort objects by characteristics.

Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning lesson, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.

Second graders design and construct homes for the three pigs. Each of the homes is made and filled with patterns that we explore. They continue a sequential pattern and describe a rule for this.

Students examine patterns on objects in nature, then use rubbings of these patterns to create pattern booklets.

Students explore language arts by participating in a shape identification activity. In this geometry shape activity, students discuss the vocabulary terms used to describe the location of an object. Students complete a worksheet based...

Sixth graders construct a rule about the number of sides found in a pattern of hexagons. In this mathematical problem solving lesson, 6th graders observe different hexagon patterns and create a rule about the relationship between the...

In this TAKS worksheet, 4th graders identify the number of sides in a shape, discover a pattern, and find the sum of several numbers. Questions relate to objectives covered on the Texas state test. This would be good bell work.

Need to go over some math concepts with your third graders? Use a series of math posters, featuring vocabulary words in geometry, measurement, fractions, probability, and many other areas of study. Each poster presents the term with an...

From a circle to a cycle! The final lesson of a five-part series challenges learners to use points from the unit circle to plot a repeating pattern. The repeating patterns become the graphs of the trigonometric functions. Scholars...

From Pythagorean triples to the unit circle. Learners use the Pythagorean Theorem to find Pythagorean triples and then relate their work to the unit circle in a fun algebra project. Their discovery that x^2+y^2 is always equal to one on...

Young mathematicians look for patterns in inverse functions as they relate to the original functions. The comprehensive lesson emphasizes vocabulary throughout as well as algebraic and graphical characteristics of the inverse functions.

Time to put it all together! Building on the concepts learned in the previous lessons in this series, learners apply the Remainder Theorem to finding zeros of a polynomial function. They graph from a function and write a function from...

Log the resource on logarithms for future use. Learners review and explore properties of logarithms and solve base 10 exponential equations in the 12th installment of a 35-part module. An emphasis on theoretical definitions and...

Take the first step into graphing sequences. Learners set the starting number, multiplier, add-on, and the number of steps for a sequence. Using the inputs, the interactive calculates and plots the sequence on the coordinate plane. Users...

Roll the dice with this activity and teach young mathematicians about probability. Record outcomes for rolling two number cubes in order to determine what is most likely to happen. Graph the data and investigate patterns in the results,...

What are some of the financial risks associated with using credit? Pupils learn the warning signs of incurring financial hardship, and through PowerPoint presentations, worksheets, and discussion, discover the...

Get learners' minds rotating and reflecting while looking for symmetry. Pupils investigate figures to determine the number of lines of symmetry and if the figure has rotational symmetry. Classmates work together in groups to find out the...

Fifth graders study math patterns and relationships as well as learn about the heritage of Aboriginal peoples of Saskatchewan. In this patterns and heritage lesson, 5th graders research the daily lives of First Nations People in...

Fourth graders observe patterns and determine a mathematical function that creates the pattern. Through a demonstration by the teacher, they observe strategies such as multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction to use when...

Students discuss the job of an archaeologist by determining how people have used their environment. Using a graph, they analyze the patterns and functions of Native Americans in Arizona using maize. They work together to answer...

Seventh graders explore number sentences using a variety of strategies making each equation a true sentence. Students examine strategies such as patterns, trial and error, working backwards, and related problems. In groups, 7th graders...

First graders use geometric shapes to create and extend patterns. Students read a book and view African garments. They identify patterns in the garments. Students create and decorate a paper vest with geometric patterns.

Third graders create polygons with perimeters of 30 centimeters, use the centimeter grid paper to determine the area of each shape, and organize the shapes to make generalizations from the patterns they see.
