Show your classes the magic of numbers. Using a number trick, learners practice writing algebraic expressions. They then use their expression to perform the trick. Their exploration should help them understand the magic behind the trick.

Do this for numbers 1-10, but in this one youngsters just focus on the number three. First, they trace the digit three times (of course!) and try a few on their own. Next, scholars count how many bears, bowls, and beds there are, writing...

Focus on fours! First, young counters trace the number four (in numeral form) three times and print a few on their own. Next, they count Little Bo Peep's groups of sheep, recording each total. There are four of each, but encourage them...

Fish for fives with a cute counting worksheet! Kindergartners count schools of fish, which all add up to five, and write the correct number in provided spaces. They then copy a domino pattern at the bottom of the page. A great way to...

In this strategies for problem-solving:  finding patterns worksheet, 4th graders use a given pattern to answer 3 questions, then determine another pattern to answer 3 more.

Pupils recognize predictable patterns in literature. They use the selected pattern to create their own writing using the same type of literary pattern. The new writing is proofread by other students and the editing is done until the...

Students are introduced to various geometric and numeric patterns. In groups, they work together to determine the next object or number in the pattern. They record their answers on a worksheet and create their own pattern to give to a...

Eighth graders explore sequences. They discuss the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric pattern. Students participate in workstation activities where they determine arithmetic or geometric patterns and predict the...

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...

Sixth graders explore pattern recognition and sequencing. They create arithmetic and geometric sequences with colors, shapes, and numbers. Students write expressions of arithmetic sequences and geometric sequences to find the nth term.

Students create a macaroni necklace based on a pattern given them by the instructor. In this reinforcement lesson, students are given a complex pattern and using a letter key. They must recreate the patten using colored macaroni strung...

In this writing equations worksheet, students examine 6 tables and 2 relations looking for a pattern. Students then use the patterns to write 8 equations.

In this patterning worksheet, students use a chart to respond to 6 questions. Students decipher what patterns they are using to answer each of the given questions.

In this math patterns worksheet, learners solve 6 problems in which the number, letter or shape pattern in a series is determined. Students mark the choice that shows how the pattern would be continued.

Second graders review the spelling of words with the long O sound. In this phonics lesson plan, 2nd graders brainstorm words with the long O sound, gain exposure to common long O spelling patterns and sort long O words based upon the...

In this pattern worksheet, students use a table to solve a set of 3 word problems, then write their own problem using information in the table.

In this addition patterns worksheet, students respond to 7 questions that require them to fill in the missing numbers in 7 patterns and then describe each of the patterns in their own words.

Eighth graders identify organizational patterns in their tests. Individually, they list five major organizational patterns and write a definition of each one. Students, in groups, assign responsibilities and complete assignment sheets...

Sixth graders investigate the concept of patterns and how they can occur with numbers and the lesson focuses on the occurrance wiht shapes. They complete an activity investigating patterns using a story to set the tone of fun.

In this early childhood understanding patterns worksheet, students find the pattern in 3 problems and then show each another way. Students also explain how they decided what pattern to make in 1 of the problems.

Students create pattern books. In this math patterns lesson, students create various patterns using manipulatives. Students take digital photographs of the patterns and create books.

In this patterns worksheet, students view a pattern and answer short answer questions about it. Students complete 4 questions about the pattern.

Students explore patterns and sequences. Given an example of each, they discuss their observations. In groups, students participate in an "Around the World" activity where they rotate to different stations in the classroom to determine...

In this math worksheet, students write equations for 6 tables of relations and 2 bracketed number sets. This worksheet goes with the Glencoe-McGraw-Hill Algebra 1 book.
