Lesson plan – pattern making with “Parade of People”
A great lesson plan that needs no resources apart from cooperative students!
As a result of this activity, students will be able to recognize and extend patterns made out of physical objects.”
Students will be creating patterns out of people, and extending patterns created by others. Either pick students as needed or form groups ahead of time–groups should be big enough to form relatively complex patterns, about 4-6 people. One group at a time will create a pattern using the members of their group.

Fast Food Nutrition
[From BigLearning.com]
Some fast food restaurants have nutrition calculators that let you build a meal and see the fat grams go up as you add more food. Although I shy away from corporate web sites normally (and am in no way endorsing a restaurant or commenting about the value of fast food), I think the math is interesting:- A “running total” is a good concept for kids who are learning about addition. They learn that you can add more than two numbers, and that you don’t have to start over with a new problem each time.
- Kids will use their chart reading skills to process the information.
- Many incorporate “Percent of Daily Values” which gives you a chance to talk about percentages.
- The exercise is a good application of math to nutrition.
