Gingerbread Baby and Lapbook Printables
The perfect companion to Jan Brett's Gingerbread Baby is a series of printables featuring several different types of activities. Kids can practice handwriting, spelling, matching, and drawing with gingerbread baby cutouts....
NASA
Air Temperatures Around the World: Student Activity
Check out climate anomalies just like NASA climatologists! Investigators use a GISTEMP map from NASA to analyze one month of climate anomalies. Scientists look for data extremes and generate possible explanations for observable...
Curated OER
Patterns and Sequences
Sixth graders explore pattern recognition and sequencing. They create arithmetic and geometric sequences with colors, shapes, and numbers. Students write expressions of arithmetic sequences and geometric sequences to find the nth term.
Curated OER
Patterns
In this patterns worksheet, students look at 4 patterns and choose the 2 that are incorrect and complete 4 number and letter patterns.
Curated OER
Follow the Pattern
Students survey patterns and relationships and then predict outcomes in real-world situations.
Curated OER
Finding Patterns with Frogs
Students create patterns. In this math instructional activity, students complete and create patterns using pattern blocks or disks. Students analyze the patterns they see.
Curated OER
Shapes and Patterns- Kaleidoscope
Third graders create art using shapes. In this shapes and patterns lesson, 3rd graders explore multiple ways of combining shapes to create new objects and art.
Curated OER
Organizational Patterns
Eighth graders identify organizational patterns in their tests. Individually, they list five major organizational patterns and write a definition of each one. Students, in groups, assign responsibilities and complete assignment sheets...
Curated OER
Pattern Block Polygons
Sixth graders create polygons. In this shapes lesson, 6th graders explore prefixes such as oct, tri, quad, pent, etc. and share their findings. Students use pattern blocks to create two different polygons and label them.
Curated OER
Making Patterns
Students utilize skittles and unifix cubes to practice the recognition and creation of a variety of patterns. The created patterns are copied onto sheets and the colors are labeled.
Curated OER
Finding Patterns in Fractals
Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.
Curated OER
Eye Spy a Pattern
Fifth graders examine how to see patterns by showing how things work together. They identify, analyze and determine a rule for predicting and extending numberical patterns involving operations of whole numbers, decimals and fractions.
Curated OER
Developing the Concept: Patterns
Students understand what a pattern is and how to make a pattern. In this pattern lesson, students use cubes to create various patterns. Students recognize the pattern created.
Curated OER
Patterns and Paper Weaving
Students weave construction paper to create a placemat that displays a pattern.

2, 4, 6, 8 . . .What Do We Appreciate-Patterns, Patterns, Patterns
Learners discover and predict patterns in a numerical sequence. Through the Internet and video segments, students begin with basic number patterns and extend their knowledge into higher math skills. They will also create new patterns...
Curated OER
Patterns and Pentominoes
Students participate in a class discussion about how pentominoes figure into the plot of "Chasing Vermeer." They then solve pentominoe puzzles and play interactive games. Resource links are provided for the activities and puzzles.
Curated OER
Investigation-Pattern/Functions
Young scholars explore number patterns. In this number patterns and probability math lesson, students work in groups to describe the patterns present in the first five rows of Pascal's Triangle, then write numbers to continue this...

Working With Pattern Blocks
Fourth graders use pattern blocks to complete patterns, puzzle, and area centers. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, 4th graders also demonstrate fractions and use the SMART Board with their pattern blocks.
Curated OER
Patterns
Sixth graders investigate the concept of patterns and how they can occur with numbers and the lesson focuses on the occurrance wiht shapes. They complete an activity investigating patterns using a story to set the tone of fun.
Curated OER
Patterns and Geometric Representations
Students explore patterns and sequences. Given an example of each, they discuss their observations. In groups, students participate in an "Around the World" activity where they rotate to different stations in the classroom to determine...
Curated OER
Building Patterns Incrementally
Students study the recurrence rules for patterns where the increase from one term to the next is not constant. They look for the recurrence rule on their own. They copy the pattern and create the next element, continue the pattern with...
Curated OER
Building Patterns Constantly
Students are introduced to some number patterns using buildings constructed with squares. They construct tables of patterns and finding the recurrence rule for a simple pattern where the increase from term to term is a constant.
Curated OER
Geometric & Arithmetic Patterns
Eighth graders explore sequences. They discuss the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric pattern. Students participate in workstation activities where they determine arithmetic or geometric patterns and predict the...
