Learners explore number patterns. In this number patterns and probability math instructional activity, students work in groups to describe the patterns present in the first five rows of Pascal's Triangle, then write numbers to continue...

Students create patterns. In this math lesson plan, students complete and create patterns using pattern blocks or disks. Students analyze the patterns they see.

Learners are introduced to the concept of linear functions. Using new terminology, they describe linear functions in sentences and in data tables. Using the internet, they calculate and record answers to problems which are discussed...

First graders explore the existence of patterns in everyday items. In this science and math integrated lesson, 1st graders match leaves with a name word card and organize them into four patterns. This lesson includes a reading of And the...

Second graders use a number line to understand multiples.  In this number line lesson, 2nd graders use a floor size number line and calculate problems with multiples. Students complete a worksheet with multiples.

Is there a relationship between hand span width and height? Statisticians survey each other by taking measurements of both. A table that can hold data for 24 individuals is printed onto the worksheet, along with questions for analysis....

Math's gone viral—in the form of an exponential function! The activity uses an exponential function to model the growth of a marketing strategy. Learners create a table of values to observe the pattern in the numbers and then model the...

Using three set of data that relate temperature to another variable, 10th graders will use graphs, tables, or equations to make predictions about data. Students will identify the relations as linear or non-linear. Students will define...

Students identify relation, function, patterns and range. In this algebra instructional activity, students factor and graph quadratic equations. They use transformation to move the parabola around and make predictions.

Mathematics is all about patterns. Young mathematicians analyze geometric patterns to write algebraic expressions. They use the expressions to predict future stages of the patterns.

You are what you eat! Your statisticians keep a log of what they eat from anywhere between a day to more than a week, keeping track of a variety of nutritional information using a spreadsheet. After analyzing their own data, individuals...

Use a worksheet to go over the basic concepts of relations and functions. Included are clear definitions and examples of relations, domain and range, and functions and the vertical line test.  However, the problems are pretty...

Students discuss the job of an archaeologist by determining how people have used their environment. Using a graph, they analyze the patterns and functions of Native Americans in Arizona using maize. They work together to answer...

Pupils solve problems using patterns. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the relation, domain and range of a function. They graph functions using coordinate pairs.

Students explore patterns. They observe a video, "Math Monsters." Students determine the next item in a sequence. Students read books about patterns. They discuss patterns in quilts. Students visit a specified web site and design...

Learners sort objects and create patterns. In this sorting and graphing lesson, students work at centers to find a way to sort a group of objects, then make a graphical representation of the number of each item. Finally, learners create...

Students use properties of exponents to solve equations. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide exponential functions. They graph and differentiate between exponential growth and decay.

Shapes are so fun! Little ones explore, identify, and create shapes using tangrams or pattern blocks. The activity is intended to stimulate critical thinking while engaging learners through play and shape identification. Each child will...

Students identify trigonometric functions. For this trigonometry lesson, students add and subtract trigonometric functions. They add sine and cosine waves and relate it to the real world.

Students use a spreadsheet to find sequences of numbers. In this algebra instructional activity, students find the values for c of a quadratic written in standard form. They relate the behavior of the graph to the values of the equation.

Students investigate quadratic functions using geometric toothpick designs. They review transformations of quadratic functions-vertical and horizontal shifts, and stretches and shrinks. Students match the symbolic form of the function to...

Students explore the relationship between the amount of weight that can be supported by a spaghetti bridge, the thickness of the bridge, and the length of the bridge to determine the algebraic equation that best represents that pattern...
