Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The activity includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

First graders participate in hands-on activities and use objects to create patterns. They observe a PowerPoint lesson describing matching objects and patterns. In groups, 1st graders complete geometry computer activities such as planting...

In this pattern recognition worksheet, students determine which shape comes next in nine strips of shapes and then draw that shape on the line provided.

Students make a quilt. In this geometry instructional activity, students discuss patchwork quilts and learn some different geometric shapes and patterns that are commonly used. Students explore designs with triangles and squares and then...

Students examine places in nature where patterns can be observed by looking through a number of books after watching a teacher PowerPoint presentation. They illustrate a pattern in nature.

First graders explore patterns in mathematical context. In this patterns instructional activity, 1st graders inspect patterns shown to them, copy patterns, complete patterns and create patterns of their own. These patterns are shown by...

Students create a pattern out of pattern blocks. In this math lesson plan, students work with a partner to investigate the pattern they have. Within that group, students continue to design the pattern by adding the next two pieces....

Students explore body movement.  For this shapes and dance lesson, students demonstrate body movements and positions that resemble simple shapes.  Students read I Spy Shapes in Art by Lucy Micklethwait and choose shapes from...

Students analyze tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students discover which shapes can or cannot be used to create a tessellation.  Students watch a video, then create their own tessellations.

First graders analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They analyze characteristics of geometric shapes and determine the defining attributes of a circle,...

Students analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They find shapes in their environment, and communicate why it is like the shape of their choice and not like another shape.

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Learners work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers in part one of the lesson. In part two, students use geoboards to construct polygons, look for patterns, and find a general rule.

In this patterning worksheet, 1st graders complete 4 patterns that are formed of black line pictures of plane figures. They trace the figures in the first example and draw the figure that complete the patterns in the last 3.

In this patterns practice worksheet, students study the 5 shape patterns sets. Students identify the missing shapes in each set in order to complete the patterns.

For this patterns practice worksheet, students study the 21 shape patterns sets. Students identify the missing shapes in each set in order to complete the patterns.

In this patterning worksheet, students study shape patterns and decide which shape will come next in the given sequence. Students complete 5 questions, circling the correct shape for each.

In this patterning worksheet, students study shape patterns and decide which shape will come next in the given sequence. Students complete 5 questions, circling the correct shape for each.

For this patterning worksheet, students study shape patterns and decide which shape will come next in the given sequence. Students complete 5 questions, circling the correct shape for each.

In this patterns practice worksheet, learners study the 15 shape patterns sets. Students draw the missing shapes in each set in order to complete the patterns.

First graders draw, cut out, and design their own fish shapes by cutting out shapes and putting them together. In this shapes and patterns worksheet, 1st graders also construct a stamp and print patterns with stamps to repeat a...

Students analyze a symmetrical stamp design with an equal balance of light and dark to create a pattern in succession. In this shape design lesson, students review concepts of sign, symbol and language across cultures. Students analyze...

Young scholars demonstrate various patterns using dance. In this expressive arts lesson, students are led in a warm-up to demonstrate the AAB pattern, which includes spinning and jumping. Young scholars are broken up into groups and...

Students identify and reproduce simple patterns (e.g., red blocks alternating with blue blocks; clap-clap-stamp) and create and extend simple patterns using a variety of materials or actions (e.g., popsicle sticks, pebbles, stickers,...
