Prior to this activity, I work on both types of geometric patterns with my

students: repeating patterns and growing patterns.

The first page in this section is a game that my students use on one of
the first days we work with patterns. I give out geometric shape tiles for
the students to work with in order to create their own patterns. We even
use base 10 blocks to create growing patterns! The directions for this
game are on the game sheet for each student to easily read.
The next 6 pages in this section contain figures for the teacher to cut
out and glue on to index cards or cardstock cards. I created these cards
and placed them in Ziploc bags. The students then open their bag and
take out their cards. Using their prior knowledge regarding patterns, the
students work with their table, group, or partner to organize these cards
into a pattern. The difficulty levels of these patterns vary.

Pattern Record

Draw your pattern: The next 3 pieces:
Cut out these pieces and glue them to index cards. Challenge the students to arrange their index
cards in a pattern. They can share their pattern with their partner/team, OR you can have
students pass their pattern to another person to see if they can solve a new pattern. I would
have my students write out a sentence for their pattern. You can use the pattern record sheet
for this activity, as well.

Prior to this activity, my students practice number patterns. We use one
step rules and two step rules for number patterns.
The activity in this section is Number Pattern Go Fish. I copied these
cards onto colored copy paper so that the students could not see
through the cards to the typing on the other side (allowing them to
cheat the game!). The students work in partners or small groups to cut
out all of their cards (a full deck requires both sheets of cards in this
section). The rules of this game are typed on the game sheets for the
students to read easily.
Extension: After the game, I had my students place all of their number
patterns with their matching rules and glue them down on mini-posters.
These made great items that the pairs of students could turn in to me as
an assessment of their learning.
Also included: A short 1/2 sheet homework
assignment for number patterns and their rules.
Number Patterns
Name: ________________ Homeroom: _____
Steps:
1. Cut out all of your Go Fish cards.
2. Mix them up and hand 7 cards to each
person.
3. You want to match the number pattern to
the card that has the rule or expression
for your pattern on it.
a. Example: for the pattern 2, 3, 4, 5...
you would want to ask for the card x
+ 1
4. As you find matches, record them on your
record sheet.
5. You MUST ALSO record your partners
matches

Prior to this activity, my students practice geometric and number patterns.
We use one step rules and two step rules for number patterns.
The activity in this section allows students to use given pattern rules in
order to create the pattern. They are working backwards compared to
the usual see the pattern, then find the rule idea that my other
activities use in this packet. Students pick a card, then they create the
pattern on their record sheet. I had my students doing this game with
their partner, and they had to make their patterns without looking at one
anothers page. Once they were both done, they showed each other their
patterns and checked them for accuracy.

Prior to this activity, my students practice geometric and number patterns.
We use one step rules and two step rules for number patterns. We have
also practiced function machines (input/output tables) prior to this activity.
This is my favorite section of this packet! Math centers! The students
really love the monster theme, and they love how it all creates a booklet
at the end. Find a short description of each center below:
Center 1: The teacher must place the function machine cards (included) all
around the room. The students will go around the room and answer the
questions on the cards. They place the answer to that question next to
the matching monster on their centers sheet.
Center 2: Students use the shape cards (included) to flip a certain number
of shapes over in order to create a pattern of their own. They can do
this alone or in partners.
Center 3: Students can use this time to work alone or in partners to
complete a number pattern and find the rule. Great test practice!
Center 4: At the teacher station, the students can work together to
create definitions for these math terms. With my advanced students, I
just listened as they created definitions and it was amazing how they all
continue to add to the definition until it was just right.
Center 5: Students use this time to work alone (I always tell them to
pretend they are taking a test!) to solve these 10 questions
(included). We always check our centers answers at the end of
class, or you can have them compare with their group when they
are all done working.

Prior to this activity, my students have worked with number patterns,
geometric patterns, and function machines (input/output tables).
This Checkpoint Mini-Quiz was a really great way for me to check the
understanding my students had of our unit at its mid-point. This is a 2
week unit, so I gave this mini-quiz halfway through. I always find it
comforting, as a teacher, to assess my students to be sure that they are
understanding the content and skill. This only took a short amount of time,
so I was still able to use the class period to continue this unit. The last 2
questions of this mini-quiz set up an idea that is introduced at the end of
the unit (finding the Nth figure in a pattern).

Prior to this activity, my students have worked with number patterns,
geometric patterns, and completing/finding the rule for function machines
(input/output tables).
The two pages of this section are the cards that are needed in order to
play the activity. The students cut out these cards, which are
conveniently numbered 1 through 24, and turn them upside down. I have my
students play this game in partners or groups of three. I placed the large
graph paper inside sheet protectors so that the students can use dry-
erase markers to graph. A student flips over a card, and the students in
that group will graph the function. Once each student in the group has
graphed the function, the students compare their graphs and assess one
anothers accuracy. If you want the students to also work on finding the
rule of function machines, the students can use the Graphing Functions
and Finding Rules sheet to write down the rule for each function machine
next to its corresponding number (1 through 24).
The last two pages in this section are worksheet assessments that I
took for a grade. One worksheet has the students graphing the function
machine, finding the rule, and writing the coordinates. The other worksheet
as students looking at a graph in order to fill out the function machine,
find the rule, and write the coordinates.

Prior to this activity, my students have worked with number patterns,
geometric patterns, and function machines (input/output tables).
Worksheet 1: Whats Next?
Students predict the next figure in a pattern and draw it. Then, the
students need to describe, in words, what pattern they observe. This is a
great way to incorporate writing in math.
Worksheet 2: Finding the Nth Figure in a Pattern
The students will recognize the relationship between a function machine
and a pattern when they learn this concept! Students fill out the function
machine to match the given pattern. The students will then find the rule
of the function machine/pattern. Lastly, they will predict a future figure in
their pattern using the rule they have found for their pattern. This idea
brings this unit full-circle because the students realize why function
machines relate to patterns.

Find the study guide and test for this unit included in this section. The
study guide is basically a short version of the test. I like to format my
study guides in a similar way to the test, so that the students dont feel
surprised or confused. I formatted some of the test questions like a
standardized test in order to have the students practice test formats.
