Transformationally Speaking
Young mathematicians explore transformations of graphs by graphing sets of functions on the same pair of axes. They use their graphs to determine the effect that the values of a and b in y = ax + b have on the graph of y = x.
Curated OER
Multiplicative Sequences
Students investigate the concepts related to the practice of multiplication facts. They look for number patterns in order to create an algorithm in order to find the correct sequencing of number patterning. The solutions are then...

Investigation - Square Numbers and Triangle Numbers
Fifth graders investigate growth patterns using blocks. In this square and triangle numbers lesson, 5th graders predict sizes of larger triangles and squares based on numerical patterns they observed while building.
Curated OER
Shape Patterns
In this math worksheet, students examine a pattern of geometric shapes. After looking at the sequence of shapes and deciding what the pattern is, students choose the shape that would come next. There are 4 problems.
Curated OER
Rocket Patterns
Students create their own paper rockets. They identify different patterns and practice making their own. They also discover the concept of sequences.
Curated OER
Snuggle Up To Pattern Blocks
Students view and discuss a video about the use of pattern block shapes to form pictures. They, in groups, form garden and quilt designs using pattern blocks and then decorate the room with their art.
Curated OER
Patchwork Math
Students recognize and identify shapes in their environment. They investigate why objects can be composed of several different shapes. They follow a pattern to recreate designs using various shapes.

Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 1, Lesson 1: Math in Motion
Second graders, through large screen monitor, study geometric design. They participate in a diagnostic assessment in which they use pnecils, scissors and paste.
Curated OER
Population Patterns
Students study patterns of population growth in an ecosystem and why populations must remain in balance. They interpret basic population graphs and suggest scenarios about different population growth patterns in an ecosystem.

Living in Base Ten
Middle schoolers explore scientific notation and the structure of the metric system. In this middle school mathematics lesson, students read How Much is a Million? by David M. Schwartz to introduce middle schoolers to the need for...
Curated OER
One Sun, One Moon
First graders read "Ten Black Dots" by Donald Crews and then create their own counting books focusing on the number 1 (one) and using yellow dots to represent the sun, moon and stars.
Curated OER
Life is Full of Problems
Pupils use the problem solving strategy of guess and check to investigate math word problems. They determine which problem solving strategy or strategies would work best in problem situations.
Curated OER
Class Number Book
Students practice counting by ones. They find the numbers one through ten in a magazine or catalog. They put their picture into a classbook and they use it to practice counting.
