Your learners will be tantalized by this inquiry-based, collaborative activity as they discover how to write an equation that represents the height of an ice cream cone. Given the scenario based on the poem, "Eighteen Flavors," and...

Take your class on a field trip to Fractalland where they'll learn all about number and shape patterns. Based on Disney's movie Alice in Wonderland, this resource takes young mathematicians on an adventure as they explore patterns in...

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...

The generation of a number, or shape pattern, is the focus of this math activity. Pupils are presented with a variety of patterns shapes, and number patterns, then use worksheets embedded in the plan to gain further practice. The...

Human fingerprint patterns are the result of layers of skin growing at different paces, thus causing the layers to pull on each other forming ridges. Here, groups of learners see how patterns and fingerprints assist scientists in a...

Fibonacci numbers are not only found in the classroom but also in nature. Explore the concept of Fibonacci numbers through a series of lessons designed to gain insight into the mathematical reasoning behind the number pattern, and spark...

Reinforce the multiplying by nine as a number pattern. After completing sequences of the multiples of nine, pupils decipher a pattern in the entire nine times tables. Finally, they write down any patterns that they see. A great way to...

Who knows how to operate these multiplication machines? Young mathematicians examine five machines, each with a specific function (i.e. x3) to transform the input numbers to output numbers. They send five numbers through each machine,...

Reinforcing the math terms, "before," "between," and "after," is the focus of this math PowerPoint. Young mathematicians must fill in the missing number in a sequence of numbers shown on each slide. This presentation should provide...

Learners recognize and demonstrate the patterning of numbers and objects in our environment. They create a pattern using geometric shapes and find a missing number in a sequence.

The focus of this math lesson is representing numbers in different ways. Young mathematicians practice putting numbers into sets, and arriving at answers in new ways. For example, they are asked to, "Show me how to get 7 eyes." A...

For this number pattern worksheet, learners study the pile of pumpkins. Students add the numbers on the pumpkins to determine the pattern and fill in the missing numbers on 8 of the pumpkins shown.

This dynamic 4-page packets challenges learners to practice number sequencing. The sequences get progressively more difficult. Your class must count by ones, backwards, by twos, and by threes. Students can complete this packet as an...

Second graders explore and discuss adding 10 as they predict number patterns with the hundred chart. They work in pairs, groups choose a number, 1-9, and predict what happens if they add 10 to the number. Students make-a-ten strategy...

In this math learning exercise, students examine a series of numbers, figure out the pattern, and give the next two numbers in the sequence. There are 4 problems.

In this number pattern worksheet, students respond to 4 multi-step questions that regarding square and rectangular numbers as well as the number patterns associated with them.

Students use four numbers to find calendar dates that form square numbers. For this square numbers lesson, students use algebraic equations to calculate and locate number patterns using a monthly calendar.

In this math worksheet, students examine a chart which features the numbers from 1 to 100 in a grid. There are no directions for this chart which can be used in many ways for discovering number patterns, place value or multiples.

Pupils review the basic addition facts through ten. They use tens frames to show number patterns and number families. They also form subtraction facts to ten using dot patterns on a quinary frame. Given a number sentence they find the...

Third graders examine how to solve in and out function problems, or mystery numbers. They analyze a variety of mystery number problems together and extend the patterns. Students then independently complete a Mystery Number activity...

Learners identify and extend a number pattern into very large values. They create and interpret a graph based on their number patterns. Students compare a math model with real-world statistics about the existence of vampires.

In this math worksheet, students examine a filled-in hundred number chart. Students discover number patterns and multiples while using this chart for any math purpose.

Students use math manipulatives (ice block sticks) to show the addition of two 2-digit numbers. They discuss short-cuts that might be used to make the problem easier. they apply the same principle for adding larger numbers, as well.

Ninth graders discover what it means to "brainstorm." They explore a given simple number pattern and then, working in groups, brainstorm more complicated number patterns. They display them around the room and then solve the number...
