In this lesson, students study patterns and sequences found in art, nature, and mathematics. They engage in activities that involve creating and analysing patterns, fostering creativity and logical thinking. Understanding patterns enhances problem-solving abilities and develops a deeper appreciation for mathematical structures in the world around us.
The lesson plan for patterns includes enabling prompts for students who need help recognizing and creating simple patterns, as well as extending prompts for those ready to analyze and predict more complex sequences. This approach fosters a deeper understanding of mathematical patterns, tailored to meet the varied learning needs within the classroom.

Identifying Patterns
Students begin by identifying simple visual or auditory patterns, progressing to more complex patterns that involve numbers and shapes. They use patterns to predict future outcomes and solve problems. By 5th grade, students analyze patterns using algebraic expressions, enhancing their ability to recognize and apply patterns in various mathematical and real-world contexts.
Creating and Extending Patterns
Starting with creating simple repeating patterns, students extend these to more sophisticated numerical and geometric patterns. They use tools and manipulatives to model patterns and understand their rules. By 5th grade, they create and extend complex patterns, including those that require understanding of variables and functions.
Patterns in Numbers and Shapes
Initially, students explore simple patterns in numbers and shapes, such as skip counting and tessellations. As they progress, they delve into more complex patterns like those found in fractals or in nature. By 5th grade, they use their understanding of patterns to solve complex problems in geometry and number theory.
