This resource can be used through Google Slides or Peardeck. The Mini-Lesson will cover the following “I Can” Statement.I can determine rules in number patterns.
CK-12 Algebra Explorations is a hands-on series of activities that guides students from Pre-K to Grade 7 through algebraic concepts.
This article provides a brief discussion of the importance of teaching students to analyze data and representations of data as well as two resources that can help teachers implement these strategies into their instruction.
This task engages students in thinking about number patterns.
In this lesson, students will use mathematical reasoning and the four operations to solve math riddle problems. They will work with a partner to read and discuss the riddle together to figure out the answer and then place in a class book.
Students will take on a mystery, Sherlock Holmes style, to uncover the secrets, history, and deeper meanings of Moyo Ogundipe's painting Soliloquy: Life's Fragile Fictions.
Students will be able to: explain why Ogundipe used particular colors, patterns, and images for his painting; discuss what the snakes and birds symbolize in the picture; and express in their own words at least three reasons the different elements of the painting are a treasure.
Students are introduced to different ways of displaying visual spectra, including colored "barcode" spectra, like those produced by a diffraction grating, and line plots displaying intensity versus color, or wavelength. Students learn that a diffraction grating acts like a prism, bending light into its component colors.
Students partner up and take turns guessing each others decimals. Students must read the decimals correctly and match them up with the correct decimal in standard form.
There are patterns in everything we see. In kindergarten, students begin to learn to recognize basic shapes like circles, ovals, squares and rectangles. They will learn that the shapes often form patterns that can be orderly and sequential and others that might appear to be random. Students will enjoy taking digital pictures of nature and finding the mathematical patterns. They will create a slide show together of the pictures they have taken and identify the patterns in each one.
Students will view the different phases of the moon by viewing images in a "moon phases box." Note: This activity requires the students, acting as the Earth, to revolve around a stationary moon. This is of course the opposite of what actually occurs. Some students may be aware that the moon revolves around the Earth, others may not, so you may want to clarify the actual movement.
Being able to recognize patterns is one of the fundamental steps in computational thinking. Patterns can help with efficiency, solve a problem, and allow for operations to be repeated so time is saved. In this task card, the students will learn how to look for patterns.
In this lesson, students will work together to figure out how many pencils the teacher will need to buy for the year. This lesson is a culminating task for Numbers and Base Ten and will incorporate rounding and multiples of ten.
In this activity, students will observe and describe what the sky looks like at different times, identify objects in the sky and recognize changes over time, and look for objects that are common to the daytime and nighttime sky.
Students will draw the moon's shape for each evening on a calendar and then determine the pattern in the shapes over several weeks.
This is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. This document includes 5 lessons to be used during the first week of school to develop students' mathematical mindsets. These lessons are adapted from YouCubed.org, which has more resources related to mathematical mindsets.
This lesson is Tools for NC Teachers. In this lesson, students will skip count and place colored sticky dots on a number line to 144 in order to explore factors, multiples, and prime and composite numbers. This is remixable.
This task is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Students explore the relationship between numbers and look for patterns. This is remixable.
Artificial lighting (from campus) triggered the release of sex hormones in some juncos earlier in the year than would occur naturally. This led those juncos to start their mating calls before flying back to the mountains. This resulted in attracting mates which led to having offspring on the UCSD campus. Juncos that did this ended up repeating this mating pattern and staying on campus year round.
This lesson is the eighth lesson in the unit Weather Trackers (http://www.beaconlearningcenter.com/unitplan/11468.htm). The activities in this lesson serve as a comprehensive review for the unit on weather. Students review weather concepts through interactive games, role-play and experiments.
