Assessment

How will you know your students have learned?

Beth Cormier Mathematics Patterns and Relations

Date Grade Time

March 28th (3:50-4:05) Grade 1 15 Minutes

Students will: 1. Demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns by: a. Describing b. Reproducing c. Extending d. Creating 2. Translate repeating patterns from one representation to another I will visually assess the student’s learning in the first activity by walking around the classroom. In the second activity, assessment will be based off a worksheet where they will identify the Errors/Fixes/Blanks in patterns; these worksheets will be collected at the end of the lesson.

Materials

20+ Cutouts/Chocolate gold Coins, Worksheets, Coloring Sheets, Pencil Crayons, Red Markers

Introduction

To start, I will ask students if they know what a pattern is and if they can give me an example (where do we find patterns in daily life?). I will then describe past patterns that we have done in class - ABAB, AABB rhyming structures in poetry; this will be my transition into the activity.

First students will receive St. Patricks day themed cutouts and be expected to create their own patterns. Students will be encouraged to work with their peers, and provide at least three complete repetitions of the patterns. I will walk around the room and engage with the students to gain an understanding of their comprehension on the topic. I will then get everyone’s attention once again, and ask if there are any students who want to share their patterns with the class; here I will analyze the core of the pattern and consider with the class how the pattern could be extended (this while writing the pattern on the whiteboard). Second, the students will receive a worksheet, where they are provided with 10 patterns (Leprechauns have messed with patterns!) I will state that the lines will either have 1. Errors, 2. Missing part, 3. Blank/Fill in. During the activity, the students will be asked to compare/work with others. If students have finished their worksheet with time left in the lesson, they will have the option to color a picture using their knowledge on patterns. Within the picture itself it will contain certain shapes that they have previously used in Activity one, which will indicate what color to use via a legend on the page itself.

I will ask students to color in one of the three leprechaun faces at the bottom of the worksheet; happy leprechaun, neutral leprechaun, and sad leprechaun, to indicate to me how they enjoyed the lesson. I will then collect the worksheets.

Notes and Ideas: - Encourage group work as students will be focusing on grasping the concept of different forms of patterns - Coloring worksheet will help students who have picked up quickly on concept of patterns but also challenge and act as a potential next step leading into a further lesson on connecting numbers to symbols (∆=1, •=2 —> ∆ + • = 3)
