Math K-7 IRP Patterns and Relations (Patterns)

Students use patterns to describe the world around them and to solve problems.


Prescribed Learning Outcomes Illustrated Examples

It is expected that students will:
  • identify, reproduce, extend, create, and compare patterns using actions, manipulatives, diagrams, and spoken terms
  • -> Look at the two hopscotch patterns taped out on the floor. Compare the patterns.



    Hop out the pattern (one foot down, two feet down). What square(s) and what number would come next in each pattern?

    Make up your own hopscotch pattern.

  • recognize patterns in the environment
  • -> Look around the room. Describe one pattern you see. What counters, pictures, or words might you use to copy the pattern you see? Choose one, then show your pattern on paper.
