Lesson Title: Relationships in Patterns

Objective: - Understand and identify relationships in patterns - Extend and predict patterns based on the identified relationships

Materials: - Worksheet (included) - Pencil or pen

Introduction: 1. Begin the lesson by asking students if they have ever noticed patterns in their daily lives. Discuss examples of patterns they may have observed (e.g., weather patterns, traffic patterns, patterns in music, etc.). 2. Explain that patterns can also be found in numbers, shapes, and other mathematical concepts. Today, we will focus on identifying and understanding relationships in patterns.

Instruction: 3. Display or distribute the worksheet to each student. 4. Read the instructions together and explain that students will be given a series of patterns and their task is to identify the relationship between the numbers or shapes in each pattern. 5. Model the process of identifying relationships in patterns using the first example on the worksheet. Think aloud as you analyze the pattern and explain your reasoning. 6. Allow students to work individually or in pairs to complete the remaining patterns on the worksheet. 7. Circulate the classroom to provide assistance and guidance as needed.

Worksheet Instructions: For each pattern, identify the relationship between the numbers or shapes. Then, use the relationship to extend the pattern and predict the next term or shape.

Worksheet:

Pattern 1: 2, 4, 6, 8, __

Pattern 2: 10, 7, 4, 1, __

Pattern 3: △, △△, △△△, △△△△, __

Pattern 4: 12, 9, 6, 3, __

Pattern 5: 20, 25, 30, 35, __

Pattern 6: □, □□, □□□, □□□□, __

Pattern 7: 100, 90, 80, 70, __

Pattern 8: 3, 6, 9, 12, __

Pattern 9: △, △△, △△△, △△△△, __

Pattern 10: 50, 45, 40, 35, __

Answer Key:

Pattern 1: 10 Relationship: Each term increases by 2 Extension: 10

Pattern 2: -2 Relationship: Each term decreases by 3 Extension: -2

Pattern 3: △△△△△ Relationship: Each term adds one more triangle Extension: △△△△△

Pattern 4: 0 Relationship: Each term decreases by 3 Extension: 0

Pattern 5: 40 Relationship: Each term increases by 5 Extension: 40

Pattern 6: □□□□□□ Relationship: Each term adds one more square Extension: □□□□□□

Pattern 7: 60 Relationship: Each term decreases by 10 Extension: 60

Pattern 8: 15 Relationship: Each term increases by 3 Extension: 15

Pattern 9: △△△△△△△ Relationship: Each term adds one more triangle Extension: △△△△△△△

Pattern 10: 30 Relationship: Each term decreases by 5 Extension: 30

Conclusion: 8. Review the answers to the worksheet as a class, discussing the relationships and extensions for each pattern. 9. Summarize the lesson by emphasizing the importance of recognizing and understanding relationships in patterns, as they can help us predict and extend patterns in various contexts. 10. Encourage students to continue exploring patterns in their daily lives and in mathematics.

Lesson Title: Relationships in Complex Patterns

Objective: - Analyze and identify complex relationships in patterns - Extend and predict patterns based on the identified relationships

Materials: - Worksheet (included) - Pencil or pen

Introduction: 1. Begin the lesson by reviewing the concept of patterns and their importance in various contexts. Ask students to share examples of patterns they have observed in their daily lives. 2. Explain that patterns can become more complex when the relationships between the elements are not as straightforward. Today, we will focus on identifying and understanding complex relationships in patterns.

Instruction: 3. Display or distribute the worksheet to each student. 4. Read the instructions together and explain that students will be given a series of complex patterns. Their task is to analyze the pattern, identify the relationship between the elements, and use that relationship to extend the pattern and predict the next term or shape. 5. Model the process of identifying complex relationships in patterns using the first example on the worksheet. Think aloud as you analyze the pattern and explain your reasoning. 6. Allow students to work individually or in pairs to complete the remaining complex patterns on the worksheet. 7. Circulate the classroom to provide assistance and guidance as needed.

Worksheet Instructions: For each complex pattern, analyze the relationship between the elements. Then, use the relationship to extend the pattern and predict the next term or shape.

Worksheet:

Pattern 1: 3, 6, 12, 24, __

Pattern 2: 1, 4, 9, 16, __

Pattern 3: △, □, △△, □□, △△△, __

Pattern 4: 2, 5, 10, 17, __

Pattern 5: 10, 20, 40, 80, __

Pattern 6: □, △, □□, △△, □□□, __

Pattern 7: 100, 90, 80, 70, __

Pattern 8: 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, __

Pattern 9: △, □, △△, □□, △△△, __

Pattern 10: 50, 45, 41, 38, __

Answer Key:

Pattern 1: 48 Relationship: Each term is multiplied by 2 Extension: 48

Pattern 2: 25 Relationship: Each term is the square of the position number Extension: 25

Pattern 3: □□□ Relationship: Each term alternates between a triangle and a square, with the number of shapes increasing by one each time Extension: □□□

Pattern 4: 26 Relationship: Each term is obtained by adding the position number squared to the previous term Extension: 26

Pattern 5: 160 Relationship: Each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2 Extension: 160

Pattern 6: △△△△ Relationship: Each term alternates between a triangle and a square, with the number of shapes increasing by one each time Extension: △△△△

Pattern 7: 60 Relationship: Each term decreases by 10 Extension: 60

Pattern 8: 16 Relationship: Each term is obtained by adding the position number to the previous term Extension: 16

Pattern 9: □□□□□ Relationship: Each term alternates between a triangle and a square, with the number of shapes increasing by one each time Extension: □□□□□

Pattern 10: 35 Relationship: Each term is obtained by subtracting the position number from the previous term Extension: 35

Conclusion: 8. Review the answers to the worksheet as a class, discussing the complex relationships and extensions for each pattern. 9. Summarize the lesson by emphasizing the importance of recognizing and understanding complex relationships in patterns, as they can help us predict and extend patterns in various contexts. 10. Encourage students to continue exploring patterns in their daily lives and in mathematics, challenging themselves to identify and analyze more complex relationships.
