Lesson
Class #: Kindergarten 45min Course Math
Title/Focus

PROGRAM OF STUDY OUTCOMES

 Demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns (two or three elements)

 by: identifying, reproducing, extending, creating

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson students will be able to:
1. Students will be able to pick up on pattern core
2. Be able to create their own patterns
MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
 Pencil crayons
 Beads
 Pom poms
 Glue
 Pipe cleaner
 Worksheets
 Dry eraser markers
PREPARATION AND LOGISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
 Regain attention by calling out if they can hear you to put their hands on their head
 Transitions: having little songs play to inform students to clean up and move to the next station

PROCEDURE
Introduction Time
 Tell students they will be learning about core patterns today.
 Ask students if they remember what patterns are? 5 min
 Reminding students if needed that a pattern is a design that repeats.
Body Time
Slide show 1) Presenting what a core pattern is
2) Core pattern: “the smallest part of the pattern that
repeats”
10 min
3) Giving examples of different core patterns like AB, ABC,
ABCD, AABB…

Activities There will be six learning centers for the students to 15 min
(Learning center) engage in to help them further understand pattern and
pattern core. (stations will be 5-6 minutes to keep hem
moving).
1) Flower activity: With a flower with the different core
patterns (AB, ABC…) with a pipe cleaner acting as a
steam with and making the said core pattern with
beads on the stem
2) Is it a pattern: Where students are given different
patterns and they will section it as Yes if it is a patters
or not

3) Exploring Patterns: With Pom Poms students will make
their own patters while following outlines of different
shapes
4) Craft patter: allows students to color and glue the
different stencils provide to make the different core
patters
5) Apple patter: where students color code the different
apples to match the pattern
6) My pattern: Gives students a chance with a dry eraser
to create their own patterns while identifying the
different kinds of patterns

Conclusion Time
 Putt on one last song to complete clean up
 Then have everyone attention again through the hand on the head to tell
5min
them to get ready for recess

Assessment
 Formal: As walking around the classroom gives the opportunity to view students
understanding as they interact with the different activities.
