Learners weave construction paper to create a placemat that displays a pattern.

Fourth graders recognize patterns in a series of numbers and symbols. They also make their own patterns and explain them in writing. After practicing with a worksheet imbedded in this plan, 4th graders attempt to make up their own number...

First graders discover that patterns exist in sounds, movement, and objects. In this patterns lesson, 1st graders select two items from a group  and produce an alternating pattern.

Students use the song Row Row Row Your Boat to help them learn patterns and expressive movement. They recreate the movement over and over until it is a pattern and they feel comfortable doing it.

Students practice repeating rhythmic patterns in unison. Next, students work in groups to practice an alternate rhythmic pattern to Row, Row, Row Your Boat. They create their own rhythmic patterns for the song.

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Young scholars investigate growing patterns. In this additive patterns lesson, students analyze the core of growing patterns. Young scholars extend additive patterns based on the core.

First graders practice identifying and creating patterns by using unifix cubes.  In this visual design lesson, 1st graders investigate reoccurring patterns using colors and shapes and extend what is being made with their unifix...

Students use objects and symbols to create original linear patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also translate patterns from one modality to another.

Students explore geometry by participating in a visual illustration activity. In this pattern identification lesson, students explore inside their classroom and discuss patterns they find while tracing them on paper. Students attend an...

Students examine patterns on objects in nature, then use rubbings of these patterns to create pattern booklets.

Fifth graders investigate the use of patterns in a data set. The set is disolayed visually using cubes. This helps struggling students to see the quantity in order to make comparisons more effectively.

Fifth graders receive a brief history of Pascal's triangle. As a class the students construct the first few rows of the triangle. The students are then split into groups where they finish a worksheet identifying the total value of each...

The students create patterns and repeat colors for unity. They explore organic shapes and demonstrate awareness of design principles and art elements. They then create 3-D paper relief from a 2-D surface and demonstrate the difference...

Students review their numbers up to one hundred. Using a chart, they compare and predict patterns that might be in the numbers. They practice skip counting and grouping numbers. Using a spreadsheet, they graph different sets of numbers...

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.

Students create different patterns using beads. They observe the teacher make patterns with different colored beads, identify the patterns, and create a necklace with colored beads, explaining what their pattern consists of to the class.
