First graders clap a rhythm pattern notated on a board, and then make up their own patterns on percussion instruments. They answer addition and subtraction problems.

Sixth graders examine the concept of symmetry and balance. They view a wardrobe with an inlaid design, then design and create a symmetrical pattern using two different colors of construction paper.

High schoolers work as a class to compose an original four-measure rhythm. After a brief review of a sight reading Gordon rhythm patterns, students compose their own rhythm with each student selecting a part for the composition. All...

Learners describe and provide examples of the primary factors behind the regional pattern of economic activity in the United States. They create maps showing regional economics patterns in the US and examine those patterns in comparison...

Visual arts lesson emphasizing pattern and design in individual student mosaics made with paper and reviewing line, shape, space, and color. The individual mosaics will be used to create a border for a group mosaic in another lesson.

Students learn basic improvisation of a four beat measure through a game using a four quarter note pattern. NOTE: The idea in this lesson is to teach the student to create something on the spot.

Students explain proportions as it relates to principle and interest. They use proportions to explain relationships and analyze relationships by identifying patterns.

Pupils make a graph that shows how the number of sunspots has changed over the past 30 years and discover how there is a pattern in sunspot number. They find a disruption in this pattern due to the Little Ice Age.

Fifth graders examine the fossil footprints of two and four legged dinosaurs. Using this information, they try to determine how the dinosaurs lived their lives. They use their own walking pattern to compare it to the dinosaurs and...

Students create wiggly bunny puppets using thick paper or oak tag, brass fasteners, crayons, and other basic supplies in this Art lesson for elementary classrooms. A "wiggly bunny pattern" is included to aid in the construction of this...

Young scholars color the lightning part of the thunder cloud and then cut out the pattern. They then cut out the cloud pattern and put cotton onto it with glue. They then fold a piece of paper several times to create a snowflake to which...

Students describe differences in animal usage of habitats depending upon successional status of site. They also design other experiments to test movement patterns of animals through habitats of differing structure.

Students complete a variety of exploratory exercises regarding counting through 10. They recognize the numbers 0-10 as represented using the quinary pattern on the tens frames. They are able to visualize the patterns for future...

Learners, using 15 years of sunspot data, plot data on a classroom graph. They discuss why the pattern from their individual sheets did not and could not match the class graph.

Fourth graders investigate the patterns associated with both triangular and square numbers. They use counters as manipulatives to depict the numbers as needed but focus on problem solving using mental math techniques.

Learners identify biotic and abiotic factors which may alter the observed patterns in plant communities with different structural characteristics, climate, or environmental constraints.

Students examine the internal spatial structure of cities. In groups, they analyze patterns of functions, structure and characteristics of settlement patterns. They also identify the population densities of land value of business...
