Students identify and analyze the anatomy of an insect and create a watercolor butterfly. They identify the three body parts of a butterfly by pointing to them on the butterfly they have created and demonstrate the splatter paint...

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...

Pupils discuss the job of an archaeologist by determining how people have used their environment. Using a graph, they analyze the patterns and functions of Native Americans in Arizona using maize. They work together to answer questions...

Middle schoolers examine a graph made by archaeologists. In groups, they discuss the role of the size of the animals and how that affects the graph. They compare and contrast the size of animals killed by people 10,000 years ago and...

Students look around classroom and identify any patterns they see, describe patterns and explain why they are patterns, use pencil to demonstrate arithmetic patterns by tapping, practice predicting patterns by using Function Box, and...

Students explore the concept of linear patterns by moving into different body poses. They also use MathKeys software to create linear patterns across a computer screen. In groups of three they take turns adding to the pattern.

Eighth graders investigate the concept of tessellations and transformations. They create patterns to demonstrate and practice the skill. Students write a description of the pattern for others to interpret. The pattern is assessed...

Sixth graders explore patterns and sequencing. As a class, they name numbers that fit in a pattern. Students use pattern blocks to construct and identify patterns. They use a calculator to create input and output functions.

pupils collect and interpret data about their own sleep patterns, as well as family members. Students graph their results and compare with others in the class. Pupils identify and interpret healthy sleep patterns and behaviors.

Students in the grades kindergarten and 2nd grade interact with each other. They (2nd graders) faciliate one on one tutoring in the areas of reading and writing with the kindergartens. Students in the 2nd grade promote mentoring skills.

Second graders look at the number patterns we get from letters and numbers. They keep track of the numbers involved by drawing up a table of values. It's important here to look for the pattern and see how the number of tiles changes from...

Second graders link the development of skip-counting patterns to bars on a relationship graph. They also plot our skip-counting patterns on a hundred's board, counting by 2's and also by 4's.

Second graders explore linear patterns using snakes as the context. During the week we examine, construct and record snakes of different patterns. We also put scarves on our snakes and ask others to predict what is hidden.

Students generate number patterns for certain 'insects' from the mythical planet of Elsinore. Each 'Pede' is made up of square parts and has a number of feet. The patterns all link the number of feet and the number of squares. The...

Third graders explore the use of cups and counters as a model to analyze the effects of operations. They create and use a rule to create a sequential pattern and use cups and cubes to model the relationship.

Fourth graders solve problems that can be modeled with algebraic equations or expressions. There are five sets of problems. Students should attempt one problem from each set each day. They increase in difficulty as the week progresses....

Students study facts about spiders using a number of literary forms, including stories, poems, and songs. They work with consonant sounds by matching pictures with the beginning consonant sounds. They design art projects that emphasize...

Students practice moving in and out of spaces using a locomotor step. They jump on a given signal and continue moving. Students discuss the need for bent knees and ankles when they land. They demonstrate their unique sequence for the class.

Students measure the lengths of provided leafs to the nearest millimeter. Students identify trends in the data as well as sourced of inaccuracy and formulate additional questions that could be investigated to enhance their understanding.

Students practice sorting lids in different ways so that each group determines a sorting pattern. They examine how to work in groups while sharing ideas. They establish group work relationships that become apparent to the teacher in this...

Students collect sunflower heads from their community garden. They estimate its seed count using different strategies. They graph their estimations on a graph and use calculators to find the actual total.

Students work together on a word problem. They write a written report of the answer. They participate in a chessgame in which the answers are used.

Students watch a video on comparisons and discuss ways in which objects can be sorted. They play an identification game with a lemon and discuss identification characteristics.

Middle schoolers collect data and make a frequency table, change ratios into percents, and analyze data to make predictions.
