Students watch the Cyberchase episode, "The Poddleville Case" and play online games to examine how patterns are sequences that repeat or change in an orderly way. The instructional activity culminates with students creating their own...

In this math instructional activity, students discover patterns in geometric shapes by completing 4 patterns. Students study and consider the pattern shown and continue it on the lines provided.

In this recognizing pattern worksheet, students observe sets of patterns, identify the patterns that repeat, and choose the picture that most likely comes next. Students solve five problems.

Students explore the math concept of sequencing. In this math lesson plan, students examine patterns and determine the patterns needed to finish sequences.

For this algebra worksheet, students identify the nth term of the sequence. They find the missing term in the pattern and what theorem justifies their choice. There are 12 questions.

In this math patterns worksheet, students solve a series of 5 addition problems; each series has a pattern. Students continue the pattern at the end of each of the 4 rows of problems.

There are a number of activities here where learners collect and record data, as well as, activities where the likelihood of an event happening is calculated given the experimental probability. Young statisticians organize information...

Patterns in polygons lead to patterns in polynomials. Presented with a series of polygons, individuals create polynomial expressions to represent their patterns. The algebra project consists of nine problems that incorporate polynomial...

Discover an inverse variation pattern. A simple lesson plan design allows learners to explore a nonlinear pattern. Scholars analyze a distance, speed, and time relationship through tables and graphs. Eventually, they write an equation to...

These sequences are missing numbers and require some skip counting to complete. Scholars finish rows of numbers first counting by 1s, then 10s, and finally 100s. Each has three given numbers to get them started, and they fill in five...

Young scholars explore how shapes can make patterns then make connections as to how elements in a pattern relate to one another. In this matter of pattern lesson, students create a multi-folded paper snowflake. Young scholars engage...

In this finding a pattern using a table worksheet, students write what they know and need to find out, make a table to show a pattern, and solve the pattern sequence. Students write nine answers.

Budding mathematicians identify growing patterns in numbers and songs then create their own patterns. They look at number patterns and language patterns and then create their own using money and footprints.

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

One is chance, two is a coincidence, three's a pattern. Scholars must determine similarities and differences of a regular hexagon undergoing dilation. They look at lengths, angles, areas, and symmetry.

Through discussions and journaling, classmates determine methods to associate types of functions with data presented in a table. Small groups then work with examples and exercises to refine their methods and find functions that work...

Students determine patterns. In this mathematics lesson, students act out a skit, play a sequence game, and complete patterns. Students use problems solving skills.

Students identify the nth rule for each sequence. In this algebra lesson, students finish the pattern or sequence and find the missing term. They relate patterns and sequences to the real world.

Students recognize patterns and sequences in numbers. In this geometry lesson plan, students create rules to define the sequences and patterns they obsere. They translate coded messages as they dicuss navigational terms.

Use beaded necklaces to practice with ordinal numbers and sequencing. For the first, scholars color the beads blue, red, or yellow based on their given positions (1st, 3rd, etc.). The next set of beads has learners do the opposite,...

Complete the sequence by adding or subtracting 10! Although the instructions are slightly vague, the idea is that learners are given a starting number and fill in four sequential numbers by either adding or subtracting 10. The first four...

Students solve problems using the TI. In this calculus lesson, students evaluate functions using sequences. They graph the functions on the TI and make observations.

In this algebra activity, 9th graders analyze patterns and figure out the next number or pattern in the series using explicit and recursive formulas. There are 44 questions with an answer key.

In this recognizing multiples worksheet, students observe patterns of x's and draw the next sequences, write the number of crosses in the patterns and determine the rules for the sequences, and solve an exponent problem. Students solve...
