What kinds of birds live in your area? Read a book about birds to your learners and explore their feeding patterns. Charts and graphs are provided in this three page packet, but consider assigning the basic questions if using with young...

Second graders solve problems by recognizing patterns, creating patterns and extending them. They compare and contrast patterns.

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

Students explore the concept graphing data. In this graphing data lesson, students use weather data from their local weather and some other city and graph them. Students plot the local weather vs. another city. Students record...

What are the factors that influence voting patterns? How do these factors influence government funding? Is participation the squeaky wheel gets the grease? Class members interpret graphs and analyze trends to determine what...

How do doctors predict a child's future height? Scholars use one case study to determine the height of a child two years into the future. They graph the given data, determine the line of best fit, and use that to estimate the height in...

Balance scales create a strong visual of how an individual prioritizes one's self alongside their commitments to the community, school, and home. Scholars complete a graphic organizer then discuss their findings with their peers. A...

As an exercise in self-awareness and improvement, class members create a Conflict Shield listing 12 skills they believe are the most useful in conflict resolution. They then color the ones they have mastered while leaving uncolored those...

Quarter notes, eighth notes, and rests; it's time to read rhythmic patterns in music. The class plays ostinatos as they practice identifying rhythmic patterns. They then listen to Mannheim Steamroller as they draw geometric patterns that...

Research data analysis by creating charts in class. Define the differences between an "average" and "range" while examining measurement data based on student height. Utilize computer software to create a height graph which is shared with...

Learners examine how migration waves impacted Native American history. They listen to a lecture and take notes, read and discuss handouts in small groups, and create a group table that illustrates the differences and similarities between...

Young scholars identify various patterns. In this patterns lesson, students assemble paper flowers by using patterns. Young scholars discuss how they constructed their flower.

Students notice a number pattern in the book The Rabbit Problem by Emily Gravett. For this number pattern lesson, students represent and describe numbers appropriate to their grade level.

Second graders count by 2's to get to 100. In this counting lesson plan, 2nd graders use the program Kid Pix to create stamps two at a time until they get to 100.

Students recognize similarities and generalize patterns. For this math and technology lesson plan, students develop an understanding of number patterning by grouping stamps and counting by 10s.

Students celebrate the 100th day of school with a variety of math and language arts activities based on the number 100. They make books, count objects, and draw their predictions about life 100 years from now. They also estimate the...

Fifth graders explore the inverse proportional relationship and direct proportional relationship. They complete division chart showing the inverse relationship and direct relationship. Students are shown that division problems can be...

Learners explore patterns. In this patterns lesson, students explore patterns in hand-shaking scenarios. Learners work in groups to predict and record the number of handshakes that occur in a group.

Sixth graders construct a rule about the number of sides found in a pattern of hexagons. For this mathematical problem solving lesson, 6th graders observe different hexagon patterns and create a rule about the relationship between the...

Fourth graders examine patterns that influence population density in the various regions of California. The unit's three lessons utilize graphic organizers for the interpretation and presentation of data.

Fourth graders identify the origins of their own ancestors and possible reasons for immigration. They research immigrant groups of Wisconsin, including origins and daily life, and then create timelines depicting their settlements.
