Paying Patterns

Spot the greatest number of differences!

pattern

• create, continue & compare
• change (same material)

Using the same materials (coins), students will create repeating and growing patterns, and then compare and contrast the patterns.

Pattern Patch

Making these patterns will take lots of imagination!

pattern

• build with counting rods
• compare & contrast
• continue in different ways

Students will create repeating and growing patterns with counting rods and compare and contrast patterns. They will continue patterns in different ways.

Pattern Snake

Be the first to build a pattern snake!

pattern

• create
• compare & contrast
• continue in different ways

Students will create “repeating” and “growing” patterns with pattern blocks and compare and contrast patterns. They will continue patterns in different ways.

Pattern Toss

Tossing, then telling is what it’s all about!

pattern

• addition table patterns
• verbalize pattern reasoning
• recall addition facts/strategies

Students will use the addition table to find and explain patterns, investigate addition strategies, and practice their addition facts. Students will identify a pattern from a randomly selected number on the addition table.

Pattern Plus

Checking out patterns on the addition table might make you champ! Or maybe not…

pattern

• addition table patterns
• verbalize pattern reasoning
• recall addition facts/strategies

Students will use the addition table to create and explain patterns, investigate addition strategies, and practice their addition facts.

Ups and Downs

Going Up? Going down? First one to 400 wins!

pattern - 3-digit numbers

• place value
• explain using base ten materials

Students will model (base ten materials), identify, and investigate place value patterns of 3-digit numbers, as numbers increase or decrease by 10s.

Transformer

Change a 3-digit number into another and become the ultimate transformer!

pattern - 3-digit numbers

• place value
• explain using base ten materials

Students will model (base ten materials) and explore place value patterns of 3-digit numbers. They will change the value of the hundreds, tens, or ones, and explain their changes.

Name It!

Create a secret pattern… then let your partner have a peek!

pattern

• create, based on a pattern rule
• describe & explain pattern rule
• compare

With pattern blocks, students will create a pattern based on a pattern rule, and describe the pattern rule in different ways. They will compare their patterns.

Show or Tell

How many ways to make a pattern? Let’s see…

pattern

• create, based on a pattern rule
• same rule, different materials
• justify & compare rules

Students will describe a specific pattern rule in a variety of ways using a variety of materials (pattern blocks, counting rods, numbers, coins, body actions, ABCs, numbers free choice), and compare their patterns.
