Fe, phi, fo, fum. This activity leads pairs to find the ratio of consecutive terms of the Fibonacci sequence. The pairs find that the Fibonacci sequence can be found in many places. A discussion with the class shows that the ratios...

Explore the book The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss with your class. They will design a pattern for the cat's hat. They will create color pattern designs with candy and frosting. In the end, they will describe their pattern.

Individuals examine a book's components, including key events, characters, and vocabulary and develop "chain book reports" with their peers. Strips of paper containing the book's important events are staples together and hung.

Students choose a variety of design elements to create playing squares for a challenging matching game of Concentration. They distinguish matching patterns, numbers, and colors as they test their memories. Studnets hone skills and...

Little ones can listen and follow along with the images to practice making rhythmic patterns. They clap and play to a variety of simple beats. This is a great way to build coordination, listening skills, pattern recognition, and music...

Pupils experience math functions as they practice their addition and subtraction skills, and fill in each table based on a given rule. There are two columns in each of the four tables. The in column is already completed and...

When one number goes in, another comes out. Scholars are introduced to math functions as they multiply, subtract, and divide numbers to get new ones. There are three functions and tables of numbers here; pupils apply the rule to each...

Introduce your young math scholars to functions. Because the answer is explained at the bottom of the page, consider projecting this and covering it up until you hear the class responses. They observe a rule (in this case to add 15) and...

Students will display the first five rows of Pascal's Triangle and discuss in their groups what patterns they see in the rows of numbers. They will give responses and discuss that these numbers form what is called Pascal's Triangle.

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.

Line dancing is the repeating of a pattern of steps, done to music. Teach youngsters how to line dance and they won't feel so awkward when they grow up. Let them experiment with creating their own patterns and teaching their classmates....

Practice public speaking in this oral presentation lesson. Middle schoolers list the characteristics of a powerful speaker. They watch a video of two speakers, compare them and discuss the qualities of a good speech. Afterwards, they...

Number sequences and pattern recognition are vital skills for understanding more complex mathematical concepts. Practice determining the rule with your class. Each slide shows a sequence of numbers, they need to work together to find the...

It's not a short cut, just good old fashion number sense, but kids will love it. This presentation does a wonderful job describing the divisibility rules by showing how each one works, reviewing the rules as a collective and providing an...

When you see a flower or a tree in nature do you see the math? This web resource contains many ideas for using fractals in a math class including Sierpinski’s triangle, Koch's Snowflake, and the Jurassic Park Fractal. Additionally, it...

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...

Scholars will solve problems, create patterns, and write algebraic expressions. In addition, they will learn how to represent a number with a variable.

Young artists divide a piece of graph paper into sections using rectangles, squares, and triangles. They then fill each section with patterns of shape and color. Elementary graders describe how their patterns are organized. Secondary...
