Students recognize similarities and generalize patterns. In this math and technology lesson plan, students develop an understanding of number patterning by grouping stamps and counting by 10s.

First graders identify, create, and label simple patterns.

Students analyze relating a model to an algebraic equation and visa versa. Patterns are reviewed in detail and then in pairs new models are created and then translated into a word problem or equation. They illustrate their models on...

Students play a game to discover simple patterns. In this geometric designs lesson, students use a game board and counters to represent survivals, deaths, and births. They explore simple patterns for several generations.

Students gather data for the project for the entire year. They plot their data, try to fit a equation to their data, and speculate on why the data shows the pattern it does and project its future growth.

Students access the Internet and use real time data from the American Meteorological Society to create a detailed weather map. They make weather predictions based on the data collected.

Fifth graders will be predicting and describing the results of sliding, flipping, and turning two-dimensional shapes. They will also understand patterns so they can describe, extend, and make generalizations about geometric and numeric...

Students analyze the plot of the story, "The Little Engine That Could" to provide a model for writing creatively, developing critical essays, producing themes, and making predictions.

Students explore weight. For this math lesson, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Students are introduced to the vowel pattern that produces the /oo/ sound in words. Through matching, listening, and spelling activities, students recognize the phoneme /oo/ and it's placement in words. They write a message using words...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve a puzzle starting with two single digit numbers and eventually conclude that the answer can be used with Fibonacci's pattern. There are 11 steps to the puzzle with a provided answer.

Students observe clouds. In this deep convective clouds lesson, students analyze cloud data recorded over one month and draw conclusions based on results.  Students predict "Thunderstorm Season" and prepare to defend their decision...

Create a cross-curricular learning experience based on the children's book Joseph Had a Little Overcoat with this collection of learning activities. Starting with a class reading of the story, children go on to learn about the...

Spruce up a class reading of the children's book Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback with this fun series of activities. Starting with a list of reading comprehension questions and key vocabulary to address during a teacher...

Here is graphing learning exercise which has pupils graph ordered pairs and label the axis. They graph five ordered pairs and then interpret the data in the graph.

Readers identify main ideas and supporting details using informational texts. In this literacy lesson plan, they make predictions and read the text to find the main ideas. They use a table diagram to define the main idea and supporting...

Students explore lunar eclipses and discover how to predict an eclipse the same way that ancient people did. They examine dates of recorded eclipses and find a pattern. Students apply an algorithm to the pattern.

Young scholars describe examples of the relationship between structure and function in living systems, particularly with regard to specialized tissues and organs. They describe examples of biological diversity and adaptation of organisms...

Fifth graders explore erosion and the different types of sediment.  In this erosion patterns lesson students complete an activity and divide into groups and conduct an experiment. 

Fourth graders investigate repeating and growing patterns. Models, graphs and words are used to describe, extend and represent patterns. Students use evidence from models and graphs to support the identification of patterns.

Sixth graders construct a rule about the number of sides found in a pattern of hexagons. In this mathematical problem solving lesson, 6th graders observe different hexagon patterns and create a rule about the relationship between the...

Students plot the positions of the planet Jupiter while predicting what the configuration system looks like from Earth. In this configuration of satellites lesson, students photograph Jupiter and its moons to record the motions of...

Students predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson plan, students construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive lesson...

First graders work on a series of modeled reading and writing lessons based on "Goodnight Moon." students work on pages of a predictable class book.
