Students are exposed to different types of sequences. in this sequencing lesson, students learn about simple sequences, multiplication sequences, declining sequences, the Fibonacci sequence and other sequences.

Seventh graders recognize number patterns. As a class, 7th graders discuss strategies for solving number patterns. Given a pattern, they determine the missing terms. They complete a pattern worksheet.

Students make patterns. In this early sequencing lesson, students observe and state a pattern when they see one. The teacher begins be using students to demonstrate a pattern with half of the children standing and every other child sitting.

In this math worksheet, students examine the patterns of numbers for the ten problems and fill in the missing number for the sequence.

In these patterns worksheets, students complete 4 pages of activities for patterns. Students improve their visual interpretation skills with the activities.

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, learners solve problems that involve patterns, arithmetic and geometric sequences, geometric logic and reasoning, and changing bases.  The three page worksheet contains fourteen...

First graders are read a story and discuss the beginning, middle and end. Using a piece of paper, they draw three trees each one in a different season of the year. They show their trees to the class describing each one in the correct...

Students examine Pascal's Triangle and attempt construct it on their own.  In this visual patterns lesson plan students explore patterns that exist in Pascal's triangle.

In this algebra worksheet, students develop patterns and formulas to solve sequences. They apply the Number Theory to each problem. There is 1 question.

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...
