Patterns
Students explore simple patterns. In this mathematical thinking geometry lesson plan, students repeat clapping and snapping patterns, and determine what comes next in sound and movement patterns. Students recite "Hey, Diddle, Diddle,"...
Inside Mathematics
Hexagons
Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Repeating Patterns
Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.
