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 explore the history and purpose of quilts in early America. They create and name their own unique quilt blocks. Students combine their quilt blocks with other students in the class to create a class quilt.

Students examine the concept of sequences. Students create a sequence using varied starting numbers, multipliers, and add on values. Students practice determining the starting values to use in order to produce a desired sequence.

Students count and name the numbers and days on the calendar in order to determine the date. They identify the month and the entire date, and determine the pattern shown on the calendar markers. Students then calculate how many days...

In this modeling in algebra worksheet, 8th graders solve ten different types of algebra problems, including 5 word problems. They first complete each table, describe the pattern used, and determine the 20th and nth term for each....

Kindergarteners explore various representations and uses of numbers to develop number sense. They participate in an activity and arrange patterns into groups. Students compare the sets and describe the objects in each set.

Students collect and analyze data relating to seasonal changes. They view a video, research web sites and build a sundial to collect their data.

Young statisticians are introduced to box plots and quartiles. They use an activity and discussion with supplemental exercises to help them explore how data can be graphically represented.

In this number sequence worksheet, students examine 6 number sequences and fill in 1 missing number in each sequence. Next, students use the strategy of counting by ten to complete 5 different number sequences.

Upper graders explore the Fibonacci sequence. They examine the characteristics of the Fibonacci sequence, list the properties of the sequence and determine how it connects to Pythagorean Triples. Related thinking questions are included.

Get a handle on equivalent fractions through the use of manipulatives. Using area models, sets, and length manipulatives like fraction strips and Cuisenaire rods, the class will gain a deeper understanding of equivalent fractions....

New-to-school learners create a fall quilt consisting of three different paper geometric quilt squares. They use various geometric shapes that when assembled will form a scarecrow, pumpkin, and a crow. Assembly will require sorting...

Middle and high schoolers use a spreadsheet to graph data. In this graphing lesson, learners determine how two parameters are correlated. They create a scatter plot graph using a computer spreadsheet.

Junior geometers use hands-on manipulatives to explore and describe the properties and attributes of a fundamental polygon, the triangle. They learn different kinds of angles and their measurements. This well-written lesson plan provides...

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Third graders explore place value to the ten thousands place. This incredibly thorough, 24-page lesson has learners construct, order, and compare numbers to 9,999. This three-day lesson includes reteaching and extension activities...

In order to learn about the Pythagorean Theorem, young mathematicians investigate relations and patterns between different sides of a right triangle to look for possible relations among the squared sides. Once they have established the...

Investigate negative exponents of-ten. Pupils use the pattern of increasing powers of 10 to determine negative powers of 10. The scholars write the powers in expanded and product forms and make the connection to exponents using a...

Show your pupils that perimeter is linear and area is quadratic in nature with a short assessment task that requests learners to connect the graph and equation to a description about perimeter or area. Scholars then provide a...

Let's paint the town equal parts yellow and violet, or simply brown. Pupils calculate the amount of blue and red paint needed to make six quarts of brown paint. Individuals then explain how they determined the percentage of the brown...
