Patterns

 This book is awesome for introducing patterns.
"In a gorgeous photo essay, simple, straightforward text introduces patterns, focusing on their varied forms and their prevalence in nature, and looking at patterns in oceans, ponds, spider webs, snakeskins, fruits, and rocks. Contains a forward that discusses patterns."

TEKS:

2.6A Generate a list of paired numbers based on a real-life situation such as number of tricycles related to number of wheels

RRISD 2.6A Generate a list of paired numbers based on a real-life situation such as number of tricycles related to number of wheels

RRISD 2.6B Identify patterns in a list of related number pairs based on a real-life situation and extend the list

RRISD 2.6C Identify, describe, and extend repeating and additive patterns to make predictions and solve problems

2.6B Identify patterns in a list of related number pairs based on a real-life situation and extend the list

2.6C Identify, describe, and extend repeating and additive patterns to make predictions and solve problems

The first pattern goes BLUE, ORANGE, RED... and repeats itself so it is a repeating pattern.

The second pattern is a growing (or additive) pattern because the number of parallelograms increases.  

Today the kiddos made their own repeating and growing patterns.
