Students study patterns. For this symmetry in nature lesson, students examine objects to determine what type of symmetry they have. They work in small groups to rotate through stations that have objects for them to study.

Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...

Middle schoolers determine the pattern (length and direction) of shadows cast by sunlight during several month period, and develop interpretation of daily and seasonal patterns and variations observed.

Students describe a problem and propose alternative strategies for the solution. They use a model or drawing to visualize the solution to a problem. Students identify alternative factors to be considered when examining possible...
