Patterning

Our next unit in Math is patterning. We will be focusing on the following:
1) Attributes: colour, size, shape, position (direction), texture and number
You need to write down what is changing.  Don't forget to only write the core which is the part that repeats.
Example: A, B, c, A, B, c
size: capital, capital, lower case or large, large, small
shape: A, B, c

2) Pattern Rules: describe how a pattern starts and how much it is increasing or decreasing by as the pattern continues.
4,8, 12,16,20, ____, ____, ____, _____
When you write the rule, you need to use this sentence:
Start at 4. Add 4 each time.

3) Use geometric patterns to write a pattern rule.

Start with 3.  Add 2 each time.



4) Find patterns on calendars.  Example:  Sarah has soccer practice every Monday and Wednesday and I see that she has a game every Saturday and Sunday.
