Students study the life cycle of the butterfly. In this butterfly life cycle lesson, students examine and discuss a large diagram of the four stages of the butterfly life cycle. They read books and access web sites that extend their...

Students conduct an experiment.  In this magnets lesson, students review what they know about magnetism, work in groups to determine the magnetism of various objects and discuss their results.

Young scholars explore temperature and use Celcius thermometers to measure and graph the temperature in the classroom daily. They estimate what they think the temperature might be and then find the actual temperature in the room.

First graders examine and analyze various works of art by Chuck Close. They listen to a book about Chuck Close, discuss images of his artwork, and create original paintings in the style of Chuck Close.

Second graders make predictions. In this sound lesson, 2nd graders listen to various sounds, and write down and draw what they think that sound is. Students make a chart of their predictions.

Pupils examine human health by reading a children's book in class. In this breakfast lesson, students identify the importance of starting the day with a good, nutritious meal. Pupils read the book I Think I Forgot Something and answer...

First graders take a discovery walk around the school. They use their observations to compose a class book about their school.

Students explore the concept of minerals. In this minerals lesson, students discuss how cooling affects the size of crystals. Students discuss how the structure of minerals is a tetrahedron. Students discuss the structure of silicates...

Generate terms in a pattern when given a rule. Identify features of a pattern that are not explicit to the rule itself. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive...

Identify arithmetic patterns (including ones in the addition or multiplication tables), and explain them using properties of operations. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a...

Patterns are prevalent in all levels of math. Common Core Standards expect students to be able to use structure - like that found in repeating the patterns of odd and even numbers or counting by 5s or 10s - to solve problems (MP7).

Patterns are everywhere! In this week-long learning adventure, children will discover what a pattern is and explore patterns in different ways. Children will learn that patterns consist of a "core" or "unit" that repeats as they identify...

Explore the literature connections, online activity, pencil and paper activity, and the manipulative investigation of patterns and geometric shapes on this page!

CarolHurst.com provides a sample chapter from Picturing Math, which teaches geometric concepts using picture books and activities.

This interactive website offers young students an opportunity to discover the pattern and predict who will come next. Feedback and guidance are given for each response. It also offers three increasingly difficult levels that are available.

Practice discovering and explaining patterns in multiplication tables. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints. CCSS.Math.Content.3.OA.D.9 Identify...

Students learn about mathematical patterns and the art of designing repeat patterns. Lessons and assignments are included in this online resource.

Use an understanding of even and odd numbers to figure out number patterns. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Use these interactive activities to explore multiplication and patterns.

If it's in the budget you may want to consider purchasing Artlandia SymmetryWorks, a plug-in for Adobe Illustrator. There are two features that incorporate the use of computer technology to create symmetrical patterns. Free seamless...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The video describes how to use repeated addition to show the pattern for multiplying by 6.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this learning module, students relate division patterns to the patterns in a multiplication table. Includes video demonstrating a sample problem [1:21] and a set...

Generate patterns using given rules. Identify relationships between terms. Graph ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the patterns. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...

This interactive exercise focuses on determining probabilities associated with repeated coin tosses and building tree diagrams to take math out of the classroom and into the real world.
