Sixth graders investigate the concept of patterns and how they can occur with numbers and the lesson focuses on the occurrance wiht shapes. They complete an activity investigating patterns using a story to set the tone of fun.

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders draw the shapes that they see in the pattern illustrated. Then they identify which shape comes first, which comes after the circle, and which comes after the square. Students also draw the shape...

In this early childhood understanding patterns worksheet, students find the pattern in 3 problems and then show each another way. Students also explain how they decided what pattern to make in 1 of the problems.

Students create shape booklets. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students practice shape recognition as they participate in a scavenger hunt and create a shape booklet.

Students investigate shapes. In this dimension and orientation of shapes lesson, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how shapes are used.

Students listen to Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss, then identify the patterns.

Students identify and explore the attributes of polygons. They design and create a quilt square using polygons, and produce a class quilt.

Students recognize shapes, designs and numbers that form patterns. Using their surroundings, they identify common patterns. They create their own patterns in various software programs and share them with the class.

Students examine spider webs they find as they explore outside. They make T-chart of the shapes found in two different webs and draw them on geoboard paper. Next, they measure length and width of a spider's web before checking to see if...

Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.

In this shapes worksheet, students identify shapes according to sentences that describe them. Students identify 8 shapes, but have 14 to choose from.

In this 2-D shapes activity, students match a set of descriptions to shapes given. A reference website for additional resources is given.

Students cut out red, white, and blue stars and create different patterns with them. In this patterns lesson plan, students can make stamp patterns, number patterns, color patterns, and more!

Pupils explore patterns and sequences. Given an example of each, they discuss their observations. In groups, students participate in an "Around the World" activity where they rotate to different stations in the classroom to determine a...

Second graders draw a model using correctly formed geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, 2nd graders notice geometric shapes in the world around them and accurately draw these shapes.

Students practice compare and contrast skills. In this science and language development lesson, students complete a T chart generating traits of a snail and a clam. Students complete a related worksheet.

Students identify, compare, and analyze shapes and numbers. In this analogies and comparison math lesson, students warm up by completing 4 worksheets to familiarize themselves with analogies. In small groups, students are challenged to...

Off they go — launching rockets is fun. The lesson plan contains templates to build paper rockets that can be launched from a PVC pipe launcher. Individuals or groups build the rockets and determine the shapes for their fins. Included...

Develop an understanding of algebraic sequences through an exploration of patterns. Five leveled problems target grade levels from elementary through high school. Each problem asks young mathematicians to recognize a geometric pattern....

Four polygons each have a fraction with unlike denominators printed on them. Creative math minds select several shapes to create a design with and then write and solve a math problem involving the addition of all of the fractions...

Scholars must determine the maximum area for a rectangular plot of land enclosed with 100 meters of rope. As the work they discover patterns and numerical approaches to solve the problem.

Whether you're using a collection of Dr. Seuss books to teach basic math skills like counting, adding, and subtracting, or exploring the different states of matter by melting a crayon with a hairdryer, a series...

From counters and calculators to pattern blocks and Unifix cubes, this collection of printable labels has exactly what you need to bring some organization to your elementary math class.

Get active by dribbling a ball. Begin with a game of banana bunch and high five beanbag grab. Then, practice dribbling a ball, and identifying the part of the hand with which your active learners dribble. Finally, conclude with...
