For this order of operations and sequences worksheet, students solve 16 short answer problems. Kids create an arithmetic sequence by adding seven to a number. Students perform operations on numbers in various order to see the importance...

Sixth graders study number patterns. They observe dominoes to determine the next domino in the sequence. After studying the dominoes, they write an expression to represent the pattern.

Young scholars recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In...

In this sigma notation and series worksheet, 11th graders identify and complete 10 different problems that include determining the sigma notation and series of each problem. First, they determine the sequence in each given a set of...

Students perform basic tumbling activities.  In this movement instructional activity, students practice tumbling and balancing moves while listening to music.  Students are "frozen" into place while in certain positions.

Here is a fascinating lesson about the life cycles of plants and animals, and other cycles found in nature. Learners explore the cycle of the moon, the tides, and other sequences of events in every day life. The big activity is the...

Fifth graders review the concept of a line of symmetry by using pieces of paper that have pictures such as, letters of the alphabet, polygons, and designs made from polygons in order to determine if they have symmetry. The fine,...

Help young readers learn to read and interpret complex text independently. Teach young children to ask interpretive questions and use the text itself to answer them. Use art, word play and drama to provide a deeper understanding of...

This dynamic 4-page packets challenges students to practice number sequencing. The sequences get progressively more difficult. Your class must count by ones, backwards, by twos, and by threes. Students can complete this packet as an...

In this math instructional activity, students discover patterns in geometric shapes by completing 4 patterns. Students study and consider the pattern shown and continue it on the lines provided.

Students review how to solve a variety of word problems, focusing on problems that have multiples of 5. They utilize the formula for using number squares and number sequencing with lowest common multiples. Number...

In this patterns worksheet, students look at 6 different patterns and continue each pattern on each accessory in sequence as they began.

For this online math problems worksheet, students complete a variety of assignments including the concepts number sequences, shapes and grids, number calculations and substituting whole numbers for letters in equations. Students complete...

First graders discover how to retell problems and solutions in a story in chronological order. In this chronological order lesson, 1st graders use graphic organizers to record information. Students then use this information to sequence...

Find out if there are enough squares. Given diagrams for the first four figures in a sequence, pupils try to determine the next figure. Individuals find the number of square and triangle pieces of fabric that are required to make...

Can you solve it?! A New York City art challenge involves making sculptures from cans. The task is to determine the number of cans used in the engineering award-winning sculpture. Scholars consider the patterns in the different layers to...

Explore the building blocks of the Fibonacci Sequence. Given the lengths of sides of squares, pupils deduce the pattern to determine the lengths of two more squares. Learners continue to work with recursive formulas to generate numerical...

Can you figure out the code? Learners interpret ten number patterns and write the five numbers that come next. Next, they create their own number patterns based on their own codes.

Can a domino knock over a skyscraper? An inquiry-based lesson asks learners to calculate the size of domino needed to topple the Empire State Building. Using specific criteria and a geometric model, they find a solution.

Gain a little interest in functions with a real-life task. Young scholars analyze home loan data with a geometric sequence and series. They use the models to make predictions about the total loan payments at certain intervals in a...

It is a-maze-ing how lost one can get. Teams reconstruct a simple maze and solve it. Participants create an algorithm that a robot would follow in order to solve the maze as well. The activity includes an extension directing pupils to...

All work and no play makes for a boring classroom! Bring back memories by analyzing the patterns of a tether ball. Given the dimensions of the ball, pole, and rope, young scholars must determine how many times the ball will wrap around...

Upper graders read the story One Grain of Rice, and use a Venn diagram to compare and contrast topics found in the story to current event topics today. Groups of three learners work together to create their diagram. The topics they must...

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...
