Grade 5
Goals/Key questions
information)
Goals:
Introduce students to very basic patterns to solidify and understanding of what a
pattern is/looks like. Having students produce their own example
is used as a formative assessment of whether or not they
understand the different types of patterns and how to extend
them.
Objective (connected to PofS):
Determine the pattern rule to make predictions about subsequent elements:
Extend a given pattern with and without concrete materials, and explain how each
element differs from
the preceding one.
Describe, orally or in writing, a given pattern, using mathematical language such as
one more, one less, five more.
Content:
Introduct
ion (how will
you engage
students?
Students will be
listening to the intro.
Going around the class
and recording their
pattern ideas
Connections
to previous
learning?)

Conversation.
Explain we will be making a
Patterns Dictionary for this unit to
help us remember some of the
different kinds of patterns.
Get classroom helper and their desk
buddy to hand out dictionary
Use Smartboard slides
Ask students to brainstorm what
they think a pattern is (take only 2
or 3 responses)
-Take hands
For our definition we will be using
this definition: In math, patterns
are a series or sequence of
numbers or elements that grows or
shrinks according to a rule. Patterns
are all around us.
Have students copy definition in
their dictionary
Last section will be used as an exit
slip
Going to talk about different kinds of
patterns
Slide 8-Repeating patterns
Define: Patterns that repeat
according to a pattern rule.
Write it down in the dictionary
The last section will be used as an
exit slip
Go through this slide as a class. Ask
for hands when answering these
examples
Do the slide 9 example.
Do the slide 10 example
Increasing Patterns-Slide 11
Define: Patterns that grow
according to a pattern rule
Last section used as an exit slip
Tell students to answer on their
dictionary. Thumbs up when they
think they have the answer.
Choose one student to come draw

instructions

booklets

Decreasing Patterns-Slide 13
Define: Patterns that shrink
according to a pattern rule.
Do examples in their dictionaries
Ask one student to fill in the answer
on the smartboard
Last section used as an exit slip.
Students will go back to their dictionary
pages and fill out the last section as an
exit slip wherein students will give their
own example of each of the patterns
Students will hand in their dictionaries in
to be taken in for formative assessment.

Assessment:
Dictionaries
Think, pair, share
Discussion
Accommodations/Modifications:
If someone cant write fast enough, they may come look at the key after class
and copy it down
Take a brain break here if there is enough time to move on (Just Dance?)
