Download these free worksheets to sharpen your patterning skills. Sheets focus on number patterns, Pascal's triangle, and pattern blocks.

This project challenges you to figure out how to make geometric patterns with Rubik's Cube. Leaving your cube in one of these positions makes it much more tempting to pick it up and 'fix' it. See if you can determine how different...

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of number patterns and operations to identify and extend a pattern.

This collection of five learning modules looks at issues related to environmental change and sustainability. Topics addressed include changes in the atmosphere, soil, water, and biodiversity, and what can be done to counteract this and...

In this activity the student will identify number patterns formed in Pascal's triangle when coloring remainders.

Shape Patterns is a sequencing game where children from 3 to 8 years of age need to complete the pattern of different coloured 2D shapes. Three levels of difficulty.

SWBAT match dot patterns and ten frame patterns to their appropriate number.

Are there patterns in nature that can be described by numbers? That is what we will find out here.

SWBAT count to ten and identify numbers by counting object patterns.

Step through the generation of Sierpinski's Carpet, a fractal made from subdividing a square into nine smaller squares and cutting the middle one out. Explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.

SWBAT use a ten frame to build and identify the numbers 10 through 15.

In this instructional activity, students will observe patterns with the use of a Hundreds Chart, web-based practice (IXL Hundreds Chart Practice), and by playing a game (10 More or 10 Less). The patterns noticed through the various...

Students investigate the underlying causes of two-point source interference pattern. They also discover that the spatial separation between the antinodal and nodal lines in the pattern is related to the wavelength of the waves.

Students examine the findings of Thomas Young's light experiment, which showed that an interference pattern results when light from two sources meets up while traveling through the same medium.

Why can we find geometric shapes in the night sky? How can we know that at least two people in London have exactly the same number of hairs on their head? And why can patterns be found in just about any text - even Vanilla Ice lyrics?...

This task applies reflections to a regular hexagon to construct a pattern of six hexagons enclosing a seventh. The focus of the task is on using the properties of reflections to deduce this seven-hexagon pattern. Aligns with G-CO.B.6.

A lesson plan in which students count the number of syllables in words and then write them on a listed divided correctly. Materials are included.

This lesson from the Glenbrook South High School discusses two-point source interference. It gives detail on the difference between constructive and destructive interference, what a two-point source interference is and what happens when...

Reference guide to the Greater One-horned Rhinoceros that features facts on its physical characteristics, habitat (with a distribution map), diet, breeding patterns, unique traits and behavior, conservation status, and tips on what you...

This Marilyn Burns lesson plan provides an activity and discourse to help lead intermediate students through the pattern identification process.

In this lesson, learners will listen to the book called The Grapes of Math by Greg Tang, but before reading, students will listen for the "different" way to solve the problem on each page. After reading, learners will focus on one page...

A guideline for helping learners to write their own fairy tales. This is a fun activity that will help students to analyze a literary style and follow a pattern.

A geometry activity that examines the history and structure of ancient pyramids and engages students in constructing pyramid models. A comprehensive activity that considers students with diverse learning styles. Math concepts introduced...

The interactive activity has students explore simple linear functions by looking for patterns in the outputs to determine the function. The activity and teacher resources are included.
