Patterns, Patterns, Patterns

Your learners explore growing patterns by describing, extending, creating, and evaluating practical pattern problems in this three-day collaborative unit. Beginning with concrete patterns and function tables to extend and describe with a...

Upper graders work with number patterns. In this pattern lesson, learners recognize and continue number patterns and find the rules.  They do some as a class and complete an assessment. 

Build the pattern recognition skills of young mathematicians with this simple skills practice worksheet. Given nine different sequences of two-digit numbers, children must identify the pattern and determine the next three numbers in...

Further develop your class's understanding of patterns using the second video of this nine-part series. First introduce the key vocabulary words pattern, core, and step, using shape patterns to explain the meaning of each. Then apply...

The fifth video in this nine-part series explains how tables can be used to find the rule in decreasing patterns. After first reviewing prior knowledge of patterns, examples are provided that demonstrate how to organize number sequences...

Finding patterns is an essential skill for mathematicians of all ages. Follow along with Zoe as she walks step-by-step through the process of identifying and completing number patterns. Work through the Try It! problems as a whole class...

Use geometric shapes to identify patterns and deepen number sense with video four of this nine-part series. Looking at different configurations of square tiles, learners use tables to describe patterns with regard to both the number of...

Continue building pattern recognition skills with the sixth video in this nine-part series. Looking at different arrangements of triangles, tables are used to identify and extend patterns. Teach young mathematicians that when working...

Combine prior learning about function rules and shape patterns in the third video of this nine-part series. Given a sequence of numbers, tables are used to identify and extend patterns in order to determine specific missing elements....

The eighth video in this nine-part series teaches how to create patterns that follow rules with multiple parts. First, a T-chart is used to show the different steps of a shape pattern, visually demonstrating each part of the rule. The...
