Patterning

1. Introduction to patterning video with Bill Nye

2. Review of patterns using calendar overhead – including discussion of growing, shrinking and repeating patterns (HW: Do you remember, page 3 Nelson Math text)

3. Worksheet on number patterns (EP121), and t charts (123, 124), and…

4. Find your own pattern.

5. Bansho – Question 1

Figure 5 for grade 4

Figure 10 for grade 5

Note (cool if they can find a pattern across – total tiles – especially on 2nd one)

Consolidation: looking for use of tables (most efficient way to model a pattern)

(visit mrwendlersclass. for student work and examples)

6. Bansho – Question 2

This one works better with 100 – good skipping pattern found:

Consolidation: looking for concept of using an algorithm to predict pattern

7. Bansho – Question 8 page 17 (Nelson 5 math text)

Consolidation: This question lends itself well to the concept of an algorithm

9. The Design Growth Pattern – Guide to effective instruction in math pg. 72 (BLM), page 65: activity

On chart paper record every pattern the children come up with.

10. Test
