Weather Patterns

Young geometers and biologists investigate the math of nature in an activity that is just the bee's knees. Participants will study the tessellations of hexagons in a beehive, along with the natural rationale behind the specific shape....

Patterns and polynomials go hand in hand. Budding mathematicians analyze sequences of dot diagrams to discover the patterns in the number of white dots and black dots. They use the identified patterns to write and simplify a polynomial...

Why is the weather man wrong so often? Young climatologists discover how chaos rules both weather and climate through a math-based activity. Using an iterative equation, the class examines how small day-to-day weather events total up to...

Find patterns in the process instead of the result. Learners convert series of decimals and fractions identifying patterns along the way. The lesson includes nine problem tasks with progressively more involved patterns.

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31 ... hold it, that does not seem right. The resource presents the pattern of the number of sections created in a circle by connecting ever-increasing numbers of points on the circle. The video points out that the...

Sal's lecture starts where his last one ended - on problem 13 from The Official SAT Study Guide. Starting the problem over to ease understanding, he explains how to find the pattern in a complicated sequence. The following problem...

Ninth graders recognize isolines on a weather map and draw isolines based on temperature data on a weather map. They draw isotherms on a weather map to identify temperature patterns.

Build a foundational understanding of exponent patterns. Young scholars manipulate the bases of exponent expressions. They discover the meaning of negative exponents through their exploration.

Do meteorologists and climate scientists use the same tools? The final lesson in a 13-part series on Exploring Energy compares and contrasts climate and weather. It describes the scientists who study each, the tools they use, their...

Scholars build a weather station equipped with a wind vane, rain gauge, and barometer. Following an informative page about the weather, learners follow steps to build their pieces then turn into meteorologists to chart the weather they...
