Describes several activities to provide opportunity for the discovery of number patterns and shows the need for care in the descriptions of such patterns. (Author)

As students translate number words into the language of mathematics they explore number composition, equivalent expressions, and patterns in numbers and words. (MKR)

Presents a lesson that teaches number patterns through the Vedic matrix found in Vedic mathematics from India. (KHR)

Patterns generated by the set of natural or counting numbers are discussed. Included are quartic, odd, square, and triangular numbers. (MK)

Describes an activity in which students, grades 7-12, explore patterns and properties of repunits, an integer written as a string of ones. Includes extensions for exploring algebraic justifications. (MKR)

Presents two practice-discovery activities to furnish computational review in a nonroutine setting. Provides a worksheet for the activities. (YP)

This booklet offers teacher instructions and student worksheets on number activities for gifted primary grade students. Three sections are included: (1) "moving numbers" which asks students to supply the missing member or members of addition and subtraction equations; (2) "number trails," which involve the completion of number…

The focus is on using the hundred chart to discover patterns, make predictions and generalizations, and visualize the number system in an organized manner. Four worksheets are on even-odd numbers (Levels 1-2), digits (Levels 3-5 and 5-6), and percentages (Levels 7-8). (MNS)

Suggests that by using elementary concepts and arithmetic methods it is possible to find many interesting aspects of mathematics. The activities could be used to allow students to make individual discoveries about mathematics. (PK)

This document presents activities for use by middle school teachers which show how rational numbers and proportions are present in many real-world situations, including the collection and analysis of fractions, ratios, percents, and proportions, as well as rational number connections with geometry and similarity. The activities are divided into…

Practice on computation is provided using new and novel situations, with discovery of number patterns a bonus of the computation. Activities with disguised addition and multiplication tables for whole numbers and integers are presented for varying levels. (MNS)

This document provides a listing of the revised sequence of mathematics skills to be taught in grades K-6 in the Lancaster (Pennsylvania) School District. For each level the individual skills are grouped into categories, listed in sequence, and cross-referenced to specific pages in three mathematics textbook series. The categories of skills relate…

Characterizes those numbers that are the sum of consecutive natural numbers and counts how many such representations a given number has. (Author/NB)

Weaving number patterns is an exciting way to drill, and the final product is beautiful! (Editor)

Describes an activity in which students investigate patterns and discrete mathematics found in telephone numbers. (YDS)
