Math and science come alive in this career-related lesson on sanitation. Along the way, learners explore bacterial growth rates using exponential notation and graphs. A link to a very brief, but vivid video shows just how quickly these...

In need of a set of math vocabulary cards for beginning mathematicians? Use a resource that contains 15 vocabulary cards. The top half of each sheet has the word printed in bold text, while the bottom is a picture representing the...

Students review how to solve a variety of word problems, focusing on problems that have multiples of 5. They utilize the formula for using number squares and number sequencing with lowest common multiples. Number...

Youngsters explore number patterns within a Hundreds Chart. They discover six specific patterns from six teacher-directed rules in cooperative groups and describe in words ONE of the three patterns in their Learning Logs. They prove for...

Math is all about finding patterns. In this ask, scholars first investigate a sequence formed by squaring the sum of the digits in the previous term. They go on to investigate a second sequence and write an algebraic expression for this...

Nothing fancy here ... just your run-of-the-mill Algebra party! Learners explore the patterns of linear functions while designing seating arrangements for a dinner party. Comparing the number of tables to the perimeter of the combined...

Sequences are all about recognizing patterns. A module of 11 lessons builds pupils' understanding of sequences through pattern analysis. The practice connects the analysis to linear and exponential equations. This is the first module in...

As part of a study of geometric patterns, scholars complete an assessment task determining the number of tiles needed to cover a tabletop. They then evaluate provided sample responses to see different ways to solve the same...

Scholars identify and continue the numerical pattern for the number of wheels on a train. Using the established pattern and its inverse, they determine whether a number of wheels is possible. Pupils finish...

Place a lesson on sequences in your sequence of lessons. Scholars first learn the basics of geometric sequences, such as common ratios and then they write recursive and explicit formulas for geometric sequences.

Can you figure out the code? Learners interpret ten number patterns and write the five numbers that come next. Next, they create their own number patterns based on their own codes.

Learners, working with their parents in real world situations, calculate to complete three word problems associated with multiplying and dividing fractions.

Introduce youngsters to the important role shape and form play in art with this extensive collection of activities and projects. From teaching first graders how to create mandalas to engaging third and fourth graders in the design...

Students explore number sense by completing problems in class. For this patterns lesson, students examine a group of numbers and identify what the pattern is and how it should correctly continue. Students practice utilizing number values...

In this recognizing patterns activity, students identify the sequence of pictures with sounds and motions, and choose the one that is likely to come next. Students solve three answers.

Just how many toothpicks does the pattern take? After watching a video of someone building a pattern with toothpicks, groups create methods to find the number of toothpicks needed to accomplish that task. Groups either use explicit...

Five days of lessons develop number sense and counting patterns, including odd and even numbers, 5s and 10s, doubles, and ways to make 10. Each session opens with fun finger play to reinforce counting and reasoning about numbers. Various...

Work through a sequence in discovering number patterns. Using the interactive, pupils explore arithmetic and geometric sequences by setting the initial value and the common difference or ratio. Learners distinguish between the two types...

Young scholars learn how to make patterns. Students first display their prior knowledge of patterns before delving into the lesson. They complete a worksheet and participate in a web-based class activity. They work in cooperative groups...

In this continuing the pattern activity, students observe patterns, write the numbers, draw the next picture, and identify sequence as a repeating pattern or a growing pattern. Students write four answers.

Future mathematicians learn about arithmetic and geometric sequences, as well as common ratios and differences as they complete a worksheet matching sequences with the algebraic expressions that represent them.

Test your students' number line skills with these sequences, which they must finish and then indicate if they are ascending or descending. Numbers range from negative numbers to decimals. This activity would be a great teaching tool for...

Kids work to recognize and extend number sequences. They determine the rule in order to find the missing number in each sequence given. They review the concept, practice finishing sequences with a calculator, and explain each rule. 

Finishing patterns can be fun and engaging. Here are nine different patterns that have learners determine the rule or determine which image or shape will come next in the sequence. A very well-done presentation.
