Preparing to “Show What You Know”

Students will be completing a task to show their knowledge of patterning. 
Grade 1 students should be able to say, “I can…”

• Choose a strategy to make a pattern
• Create a pattern
• Find repeating parts of a pattern
• Explain the pattern rule
• Represent someone else’s pattern
• Use math language

Grade 2 Students should be able to say “I can…”

• Design a pattern with two attributes
• Describe a pattern
• Find the pattern core
• Copy and extend a pattern to make a border
• Describe someone else’s pattern
• Use math language

Here are three great games for extra practice:

1. Colour Patterns
2. Pattern Matcher
3. What Comes Next?
