Students explore number sense by completing problems in class. In this patterns lesson, students examine a group of numbers and identify what the pattern is and how it should correctly continue. Students practice utilizing number values...

The Happy Game will make your students smile! They play this game to review basic math concepts such as, finish the pattern, even and odd numbers, addition, subtraction, and word problems. Tip: Use this PowerPoint as a template to create...

Get your morning mathematicians thinking with this set of warm-ups. You can do them all in one day, or separate them and have kids do one each day. They will review past concepts and sharpen newer ones with this assortment of problems...

There are hidden pictures here, but scholars must find the rhyming words to uncover them. They follow directions by coloring in only the shapes that rhyme with a given sound. Although the pictures aren't that well hidden, this puts a fun...

Second graders define the word pattern and other related vocabulary. They create a pattern independently. Students recognize and extend patterns. They explain how repeated patterns are made. Students explore several patterns on a...

Students explore the concept of geometric patterns. In this geometric pattern lesson, students use Microsoft Excel to explore geometric patterns. Students analyze growth rates of pattern growth. Students create their own patterns and...

Students use pattern blocks to create a figure that is described to them and establish a pattern based on the description of the geometric figure. For this pattern blocks lesson plan, students fill out shape and fraction worksheets.

Students are introduced to the notion of a repeating pattern. This is done by a number of means including the use of everyday objects. They are encouraged to create, describe and continue patterns.

Third graders investigate patterns made using matchsticks and tiles, so it involves them in active studying. The relation between the number of the term of a pattern and the number of matchsticks (tiles) that that tem has is explored...

Students will create and predict patterns formed when making paper snowflakes. Students will construct snowflakes understanding that patterns may be predicted based on observation.

Fifth graders engage in problem solving. In this patterns lesson plan, 5th graders are presented with a problem regarding ranching that they solve as a class. Students watch a video about how patterns are used in the real world. ...

Students identify patterns in equations. In this algebra lesson, students write equations of problems with recurring patterns. They relate and model real life situation using functions.

Students explore two- and three-dimensional shapes.  In this very busy spider lesson, students read the story and then create a spider web pattern of their own. The webs must use a symmetrical pattern.  Additional activities...

In this fractions and patterns worksheet, students make patterns of parallelograms and trapezoids using pattern blocks. Students complete 6 problems.

For this patterns worksheet, students continue the pattern at the end and fill in the new shapes. Students complete 4 patterns.

In this complete the patterns activity, students use their problem solving skills to finish 4 patterns by adding the 2 shapes that come next in each of them.

In this patterns worksheet, students cut out six pictures of foods. Students analyze the food pictures in each row and paste the next two foods that will continue the pattern.

In this patterns worksheet, students fill in the blank for the missing shapes in the patterns. Students fill in 6 missing shapes.

Fifth graders work together to display sequence card in the correct pattern. They investigate and discover patterns.

Learners construct frieze patterns using translations and rotations. They will discuss how frieze patterns are similar to jigsaw puzzles and use Cabri Jr. to build a triangle frieze pattern using rotations, translations, and reflections.

In this shape patterns worksheet, students analyze the shapes for the patterns. Students then draw the item that is most likely to come next in the pattern.

In this tessellations worksheet, students solve 2 word problems where they use the "make a pattern strategy" to form tessellations from geometric shapes. There is scaffolding for the problem solving strategy.

Author Faith Ringgold uses quilts to illustrate her books Tar Beach and Aunt Harriet's Underground Railroad. In this integrated trio of activities, young scholars read stories, identify and create patterns, and design quilt squares of...

Here, second graders are tasked to find the patterns that have an even number of tiles. They are asked to think about why these patterns are even or odd and explain how they know.
