This week, students stepped into the role of mathematicians as they revisited different types of patterns. In this lesson, they thought back on previous learning to sort patterns into categories such as repeating, growing, decreasing, visual, and number-based.

Their learning was guided by the question: “How can we name and sort patterns in different ways?”

Students focused on being Thinkers—using dispositions like being curious, logical, and reflective.

Working in small groups, they discussed, justified, and sorted pattern cards while making deeper connections between patterns in numbers and patterns in the world around them.
