Visual and Number Patterns
Fourth graders develop strategies for identifying geometric and number patterns. In this mathematical patterns lesson, 4th graders use pattern blocks to make repeating patterns with numbers and shapes. Students then explore number...
Curated OER
Number Patterns
Second graders identify number patterns. In this number lesson, 2nd graders find the rule or pattern in a group of numbers and continue the pattern using the rule. They create their own number pattern by making their own rule.

Math Vocabulary
In this math vocabulary instructional activity, 6th graders match twenty-three math vocabulary words from column A to the definitions in column B.
Curated OER
Recognize, create and Record Simple Repeating Patterns
Students analyze, create, and record repeating patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create shapes using patterns and keep track of the different shapes. They incorporate transformation and reflections into their patterns.

Patterns
Students make patterns. In this early sequencing lesson, students observe and state a pattern when they see one. The teacher begins be using students to demonstrate a pattern with half of the children standing and every other child sitting.
Curated OER
The Point Line - Teaching Patterns
Students practice extending patterns. In this patterns lesson, students demonstrate extending patterns by performing a rhythmic patter.
Curated OER
Back to School Patterns
In this pattern activity, students color the repeating images. Students then cut out the extra images at the bottom of the activity and glue the pieces into the AB patterns.
Curated OER
Identifying Shapes and Matching
Students recognize shapes and repeating shapes can make a pattern. In this patterns lesson, students identify pictures of shapes as patterns or not patterns. Students describe how the pattern is made.
