Research patterns in nature which illustrate biological and mathematical concepts. Your class will discover and explore aspects of fractals, Fibonaccis numbers, whale and butterfly migration patterns, whale identification, flower...

Fifth graders plot the migration of birds using Google Earth. In this lesson on bird migration, 5th graders work in groups to plot the migration of a group of birds using Google Earth. Students present and discuss their findings and look...

Students explore the migratory patterns of four different animals. Reasons for the migration and migratory distances are investigated in this lesson.

This handout is a terrific teaching tool when covering the powers of ten and moving decimal points to multiply and divide large numbers. The first half of the assignment covers multiplication and then gives learners a try. The second...

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.

In this interpreting data worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different types of problems using different data types. First, they collect raw data from a paragraph shown. Then, students identify the examples of two different types...

Students form a repeating pattern using shoe colour (eg., white, brown, white, brown). Without knowing what pattern they are using ask the students to join the line if they think that they could be the 5th member of the pattern. Ask them...

Students explore multiples of consecutive numbers. Given a real life situation, students devise and use problem solving strategies. Students describe what it means for a sequence to carry on to infinity. They locate patterns in...

In this math worksheet, students begin with the Maclaurin series and prove De Moivre's Theorem. They use the De Moivre Theorem to solve four problems. Students apply these theorems to explain why a flock of geese will fly in an uneven...

Students act out the start of the given problem. They then brainstorm for ways to solve the problem and share solutions to the problem by identifying and continuing a repeating number pattern.

For this fractions worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 2 different types of problems related to science and fractions. First, they determine which fraction the whole part shaded and patterned is represented in each picture. Then,...

Students describe patterns of internal migration in the United States, past and present and evaluate implications of internal migration. They examine population movement at the state and local levels.

Young scholars work with thermometers to complete problems about temperature. They investigate cooling patterns, how location affects temperature, and what happens when water having different temperature is mixed. They measure...

Second graders work on the problem with a partner. They examine what they are supposed to be doing. They share the students's solutions making sure than they are looking for patterns along the diagonals.

Students generate patterns from a structured situation, find a rule for the general term, and express it in words and symbols. They also devise and use problem solving strategies in a systematic way.

Students generate patterns from a structured problem, finding a rule for the general term, and expresses it in words and symbols. They then devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically.

Students interpret information and results in context while using words and symbols to generalize patterns. They use symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems and identifying invariant properties under...

Students explore mathematical problem solving. Given a case problem, students write a rule to solve problems involving decimal multiplication and division. They invent problems, share them with the class, and solve other student's...

First graders use Cuisenaire rods to study the mathematical symbols =, <, > for the relationships is equal to, is less than, and is greater than. They use the rods to show visual explanations of common number combinations.

Fourth graders examine the animals who live in rice paddies and create a chart.  In this rice lesson, 4th graders link the types of animals living in each ecosystem with a bar graph. Students use colored bars to show...

Students examine and calculate the percentage of potable water remaining on the earth. In this ecology and geography lesson, students brainstorm the main factors affecting water distribution. Students use mathematical problem solving to...

Students study the amount of potable water on the Earth. In this water activity, students examine the amount of potable water as compared to all the water on the Earth. They discuss why many parts of the world do not have access to good...

In this unit, 3rd graders investigate one variable to see if they can make a paper plane fly farther. They use scatter plots to establish a possible relationship between variables then use what they have found to make a paper plane to...

Students solve a problem in a systematic and mathematical way. The use of an equation is applied to a word problem situation. It is necessary that students be familiar with different types of equations.
