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...

A lesson for students to recognize patterns in a number chart. Site includes documents and videos to help implement the lesson.

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.

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

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.

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.

Learn about number patterns in sequences and recursions by specifying a starting number, multiplier, and add-on. The numbers in the sequence are displayed on a graph, and they are also listed below the graph.

Step through the generation of the Koch Snowflake, a fractal made from deforming the sides of a triangle, and explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.

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?...

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, students 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, students will focus on one page...

A guideline for helping students 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 lesson plan that examines the history and structure of ancient pyramids and engages students in constructing pyramid models. A comprehensive lesson plan that considers students with diverse learning styles. Math concepts...

We all use technology in different ways at different times. This activity is a fun way to learn more about these patterns within the children and families associated with our classroom!

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.

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

This elegant project employs a scientific approach that is particularly valuable in Environmental Science, but can be applied to other areas as well. The approach has three steps: 1) from your observations in the field, form a...
