These number sequences are quite fun to look at! Beginning counters complete six of them as they say and write in the numbers. They count only by 1s, however some of these move from greatest to least. The highest number here is 20. Once...

Count by six with these helpful activities. After completing number sequences and multiplication problems from the six times table, third graders solve problems that are written out at the bottom of the page. An excellent way to work on...

Hop to it! Young counters practice skip counting by two using illustrations of animals hopping from place to place. Each image shows a number sequence and scholars draw in the path as they move from number to number. Encourage them to...

A great activity for scaffolding critical thinking about mathematical concepts. This resource provides students with a brief explanation of multiples followed by 29 practice problems which gradually increase in difficulty. Several tables...

Number crunching statisticians explore displaying data with dot plots and define the difference between quantitative data and qualitative data. Dot plots are created based on a set of given data and analyzed.

Solve and complete 18 problems about angles. First,  demonstrate that each conjecture is false by giving a counterexample. Then write the inverse, contrapositive, and converse for the each statement. In addition, write a...

Help your students identify the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They read the book Round is a Mooncake, and use pattern blocks to sort shapes. Students sort shapes according to their attributes.

Fifth graders study dehydration and dehydration of foods. They measure the amount of water lost from fruits as they are dehydrated. They use desktop publishing software to design an advertisement for dehydrated fruit after researching...

In this trigonometry instructional activity, students calculate the sum of the terms in an arithmetic and geometric series.  This two-page instructional activity contains 5 multi-step problems.  Answers are provided at the...

In this completing the patterns activity, learners observe patterns of fruit and cut and paste the pictures to complete the patterns. Students complete 5 patterns.

Learners explore fall leaves. For this leaf lesson, students collect leaves to investigate. Learners also measure, compare and contrast, draw and look at leaves through a magnifying glass. Students sing songs and use movement in this...

In this identifying patterns worksheet, students observe a sequence of Christmas figures and determine the final figure in order. Students choose the last figure in six sets of multiple choice answers.

In this geometry worksheet, students solve the problem of finding the shortest total distance traveling in straight lines.  The solution is provided.

Eighth graders discuss how data is collected and participate in data collection through a survey. They complete a scavenger hunt on the Internet to gain understanding of the data measures mean, median, mode, and range.

Young scholars become familiar with patterns, the Fibonacci Sequence, and the Golden Ratio. They see how many places these occur. They have practical applications for using the calculator and making charts to extend patterns.

Just how far off is the least squares line? Using a graphing calculator, individuals or pairs create residual plots in order to determine how well a best fit line models data. Three examples walk through the calculator procedure of...

In this sequencing of numbers worksheet, students study, analyze and solve the next sequence or term of numbers in thirty-seven patterns of numbers. Students check their answers online as they go through the worksheet.

Learners explore and examine how patterns, measurement, ratios and proportions are utilized in the research development and production of airplanes. They meet a pilot from the Federal Aviation Association who describes the growth of air...

Middle schoolers identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Middle schoolers cut shapes out of...

Students plant seeds, observe and tend plants. They identify major plant parts, how to germinate and troubleshoot problems with plants; and, that plants need water, light, and soil nutrients to thrive. They create a Plant Growth Data Log.

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Polygons — it's all about the angles. Groups work with dynamic geometry software to find the sum of the measures of the angles of various polygons. After finding the information for several polygons, the groups generate a formula that...

Students make sequential patterns by using ants and following the model. They identify different parts of an ant by matching the picture to the word name. Pupils identify the ant's life cycle by creating a chart using pictures.

Elementary learners discover counting through a counting chart. In this math lesson, students identify numbers 1-100. They then point or recite their counting numbers.
