Hungry Patterns
In this patterning worksheet, young scholars examine 5 sets of clip art pictures of food. They circle the food choice that completes the pattern or shows which one comes next. They circle the food pictures at the bottom of the page that...
Curated OER
Arithmetic Patterns
When one number goes in, another comes out. Scholars are introduced to math functions as they multiply, subtract, and divide numbers to get new ones. There are three functions and tables of numbers here; pupils apply the rule to each...

Problem Solving Strategies: Patterns
What's next in the series? Mathematicians study figures, graphs, and statements to determine what comes next in this patterns activity. They experiment with a multiplication chart and draw their own figures to continue specific patterns....
Curated OER
Number Patterns/ Odd and Even #2
What's odd? What's even? And what is the pattern? Learners explore addition problems to answer this question, deciding if the answer to each equation is odd or even. They then draw a two-column table to illustrate the outcomes of the...
Curated OER
Investigation - Patterns/Functions
Students will display the first five rows of Pascal's Triangle and discuss in their groups what patterns they see in the rows of numbers. They will give responses and discuss that these numbers form what is called Pascal's Triangle.
Curated OER
Arithmetic Patterns
Pupils experience math functions as they practice their addition and subtraction skills, and fill in each table based on a given rule. There are two columns in each of the four tables. The in column is already completed and the out...
Curated OER
Toothpick Patterns
In this patterning worksheet, students identify and complete 15 different patterns that include using toothpicks. First, they determine the number of toothpicks needed to create each figure in a given sequence. Then, students determine...
Curated OER
Real World Math Book
Fourth graders create their own story problem from an idea list and solve it. They draw a picture to help in solving their problem. Students build a diorama to illustrate their story problem. They work in class to solve story problems...
Curated OER
American Indian Math
Upper graders examine Native American culture while practicing mathematical concepts related to patterns and estimation. They will use mental math to add/subtract single digit numbers.
Curated OER
Toothpick Triangles
Explore patterns, variables, and mathematical relationships when you examine patterns with toothpicks and determine the next sequence of figures. Your class writes and justifies a formula based on the sequence. An answer key is included.
Curated OER
Challenge: Powers of 10
Youngsters respond to 10 problems that require them to calculate the products of the powers of 10 and write numbers in exponent form.
Fraction Bars
Subtraction of Decimals
Here is a fabulous lesson on subtracting decimals with different numbers of decimal places. There are teacher-led activities for learners to engage in, including, modeling decimal subtraction through decimal squares, looking at place...

Problem Solving: Patterns in the Coordinate Grid
Coordinate graphs can be used for a variety of purposes. In this basic worksheet on coordinate graphing, 4th graders learn how to identify points and patterns on a graph. This worksheet could be used as a follow up to a lesson on...
Curated OER
Identifying Patterns
What's the pattern? Beginners with this skill examine four sets of objects to determine a pattern, continuing it by drawing the rest of the objects in the space provided. Next, they do the same but with two numeric patterns. These don't...
Curated OER
Apple Math-Focus on Patterning
Students construct patterns with apples. In this mathematical thinking and patterning lesson, students compare and contrast several types of apples. Students complete patterns with a SmartBoard activity, and then draw apple patterns on...
Curated OER
Pattern Block Barrier Game
Challenge your learners to give clear and concise directions in this shape-name practice activity. In partners, they place a dividing "wall" between them, with pattern blocks and a grid on each side. Partner A places one block at a time...
Curated OER
Pattern Block Fractions
Fourth graders participate in a lesson plan that is about the finding of different fractional sizes with the help of pattern blocks. They define the vocabulary terms of numerator and denominator. The lesson plan also uses geometry and...
Exploratorium
Exploring Pattern Blocks
Here's a great lesson that uses one of the best manipulatives there is: pattern blocks. Elementary schoolers must fill in a variety of shapes using specific amounts of pattern blocks. This forces them to do some spatial mathematical...
Bowland
Fashionista
So trendy! Show your class how to identify trends in sales patterns using mathematics. Scholars use a software simulation to collect data on age groups, price, and sales at a fashion store. This data allows individuals to determine the...
