Suggested Success Criteria (AfL)
I can create a necklace that follows a clear pattern.

Introduction

Students will share what they know about patterns. They will discuss how they know what
the next object is in a pattern based on the sequence prior. I will provide an example and
they will have to tell me which shape or colour comes next.
Activity
Students will use their necklace-planning page to draw what they want their necklace to
look like. They will answer questions about how many jewels they want in their necklace,
what shapes they will use, and what colours they want in their necklace. They will share this
information with me before they start creating their jewelry.
Plenary
Students will share with one another what their pattern was in their necklace based on the
colours and shapes.
