1. Patterns How do patterns help us solve problems? 2.A.4.1/2.A.4.3 FCA 2
The teacher will go over the information on each of the slides for the PowerPoint. This is the benchmark for Patterns 2.A.4.1/2.A.4.3 assessed in FCA 2.

3. You can find a pattern in pictures.
This pattern is REPEATING, the pictures will copy themselves over and over again.
Go over this term orally with the class.
You may want student to make a foldable for key vocabulary terms. The students should be instructed to write the term “REPEATING” on the outside of the flap, and then on the inside they will write what this term means. The students will also put a representation of the term (like the one on the PowerPoint slide). Each vocabulary term will be set up on the foldable in the same manner.

4. You can also use letters to show this pattern.
A B B A B B
Every time a new shape is added to the pattern, you change a letter. When a shape repeats, you repeat the letter.
Make sure that students understand that patterns can be transferred into other patterns. Such as shapes being transferred to letters.

5. A A B C A A B C Can you rename this pattern into letters? Remember:
new shape = new letter
same shape = same letter A A B C A A B C

6. Instead of repeating, some patterns can get larger.
These are called GROWING patterns.
Go over vocabulary term orally.
If working with a foldable, have students record vocabulary term, meaning, and representation in the foldable.

7. Can you guess what will come next in this GROWING pattern?

8. Look at the pattern of shapes below:
Which of the following shows this pattern renamed using letters?
A ABB ABB C AAB AAB
B AC AC AC D ABC ABC
Teachers may want to hand out cards that have the letters A,B,C, and D written on them in large print to each student. Students can raise the card that corresponds with their answer choice.
I teach my students sign language for A, B, C, and D. We read the question aloud, I give them a few seconds to figure out their answer then I say “1, 2, 3 show me” and they show me their answer in sign language. This can also be performed with cards.
I use this method with every multiple choice slide.

9. Sam made the following pattern:
If this pattern continued, how many stars will there be in the next row?
A 7 C 8
B D 10

10. Look at the shape pattern again:
What type of pattern is it?
A repeating
B growing
C numeric

11. Look at the shape pattern again:
What type of pattern is it?
A repeating
B growing
C numeric

12. 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 Patterns can also be found in numbers.
This pattern is skip counting by 2s. The rule for this pattern is plus (adding) 2.
6, 8, 10, 12, 14
Have students practice skip counting either kinesthetically (such as in the video) or record on a sheet of paper.

13. What is the rule for this number pattern?
Decide if the numbers are increasing or decreasing.
How much is it increasing or decreasing by?
16, 26, 36, 46 + 10 + 10 + 10

14. 13, 18, 23, 28 + 5 + 5 + 5 What is the rule for this number pattern?
Rule: plus (adding) 5
13, 18, 23, 28 + 5 + 5 + 5

15. 3, 6, 9, 12, __, __ Look at the number pattern.
What is the rule for this number pattern?
A evens C doubles
B plus 3 D plus 2
3, 6, 9, 12, __, __
Teachers may want to hand out cards that have the letters A,B,C, and D written on them in large print to each student. Students can raise the card that corresponds with their answer choice.
I teach my students sign language for A, B, C, and D. We read the question aloud, I give them a few seconds to figure out their answer then I say “1, 2, 3 show me” and they show me their answer in sign language. This can also be performed with cards.
I use this method with every multiple choice slide.

16. 3, 6, 9, 12, __, __ Look at the number pattern again.
What would the next two numbers be if you extend this number pattern?
A 13, 14 C 11, 10
B 20, 30 D 15, 18
3, 6, 9, 12, __, __

17. 55,66,77, __, __ Look at the number pattern.
What would the next two numbers be if you extend this number pattern?
A 88, 99 C 78, 79
B 80, 90 D 55, 66
55,66,77, __, __

18. 625,525,425,__,__ Look at the number pattern.
What would the next two numbers be if you extend this number pattern?
A 400, 300 C 525, 600
B 325, 225 D 424, 423
625,525,425,__,__

19. 26, 36, 46, __, __ Look at the number pattern.
What would the next two numbers be if you extend this number pattern?
A 64, 63 C 47, 48
B 16, 6 D 56, 66
