Patterns An Integrated Unit for Grade 1

Task ContextThe students will build on their knowledge and skills of patterns to create a patterned sequence. This patternwill become part of a larger class quilt. Students must be able to identify, create, and explain their pattern.

In completing the subtasks, students will work to explore the concepts of patterning using a variety ofmaterials. Students will work collaboratively and alone to focus on how patterns work in their everyday livesand how patterns enhance the aesthetic value of our environment. Students will begin to use the 100 chart toexplore patterns in sequential numbers. Regularity is the essence of mathematics and the students will beable to see how patterns relate to the language of math. When students use labels for their patterns (e.g.,AB), it prepares them to use variables in the future when learning algebra.

Task SummaryActivities related to the unit will develop mathematical skills and knowledge in these mathematics strands:Patterning and algebra, number sense and numeration, measurement, geometry and spatial sense.

The students will explore patterns in numbers, geometry, measurement (days of the week and money), andin their environment. They will learn, through the use of a calculator and 100 chart, to explore patterns insequential numbers as well as combining and separating number combinations. Students will make models ofpatterns using concrete materials, actions, and be able to extend a pattern given the pattern rule. Studentswill see that patterns occur in language and stories and in their environment. Through these hands-onopportunities, they will see that each pattern consists of a rule that when followed will continue the pattern.With this in mind, students will produce a square for a class quilt that will extend a given rule determined bythe teacher and/or class.

Culminating Task AssessmentThe students will create a square for a class quilt. They will use two items that change one attribute (colour)to create a pattern sequence such as AB, ABB, AAABB. They must be able to describe this pattern rule andextend the pattern further. The students will be encouraged to apply their abilities to make a meaningfulcontribution to a class project, as their square will be pieced together with the other students' work to make aclass quilt.

Catholic Graduate Expectations:CGE 5g - achieves excellence, originality, and integrity in one's own work and supports these qualities in thework of others.

Links to Prior KnowledgeFrom the Kindergarten curriculum, it is expected that the students will be able to identify and reproduce simplepatterns (e.g., red block-blue block; clap-clap-stamp). They will be able to create and extend simple patternsusing a variety of materials or actions. The initial assessment described in subtask 1 can be used as areference to determine if the student has a basic understanding of patterning.

Considerations

Notes to TeacherThis unit provides a lot of information and activities for a grade 1 class. It has been created as a "fluid" unit,one that can be adapted and modified to meet the needs of the students as well as your teaching style. Thetimes listed for each subtask are flexible and given to you as a guide. Your class may need more time tocomplete the tasks or perhaps they will finish quickly.

We have also provided a variety of resources that are not necessarily needed to complete subtasks, butenrich the whole unit. These include stories, websites, and software. They are listed under "Unit WideResources" and are also found in the resource list as 'unit' resources. Use them as you see them working inyour classroom.

Thank-youSpecial thanks to the Northern Ontario Catholic Curriculum Cooperative.Graphics have been drawn by teachers on staff. Permission granted in writing for their use in this unit.

Celebration PreparationIn the final subtask, that is, the celebration, the children will be making connections between their lives withthe life of Jesus. To help the students make this connection, you are encouraged to read a story from thegospels daily to show examples of how Jesus lived his life in service of others. See subtask 10, A Gift ofPatterns, for some suggestions of which Bible stories may be appropriate. The grade 1 Religion program "WeBelong to God, Year 1" offers some excellent suggestions. Of course you can choose other stories whichyou feel will make the connection. When it's time for the celebration, the students will be familiar with some ofthe many giving acts of Jesus and see the pattern of his life.

Safety: Throughout this unit, students will be using small manipulatives. Remind them that it is unsafe forthem to put these objects into their nose, ears, or mouth. You may need to reinforce this safety rule as theunit progresses.

Enhancing your class for the unit1. Flashlight Word WallDraw a large flashlight on a large piece of paper. This flashlight will be the place where you will list the newvocabulary associated with the unit. You can write the words right on the flashlight or write them on cards tostick onto the flashlight. Every day take a few minutes to review, spell, discuss, or write about the word ofthe day. To help add drama to this mini-lesson, turn off the lights and with a real flashlight shine on the wordto highlight it for the children to see. This captures their attention and helps them focus on the word. You canalso use these words in word games.

2. On your monthly calendar, use a pattern for the number cards. Ask children to predict what today's datewill be. Many commercially-made calendar dates come in patterns: some in an AB pattern, others in aseven-day-week rotation.

3. Arrange or have the children arrange themselves to form a pattern when they line up or sit on the carpet.Ask them to tell you the pattern rule. If someone guesses it before you finish the pattern, let them continue toarrange the students.

Exploration CentresThese centres are a variety of activities that will be available to challenge and/or reinforce the expectationsof this unit. The teacher can implement them in a variety of ways.They can be used as open activities for students to go to when they have finished their work early.The centres can also be used as Math stations, where children can go to explore patterns when they havefree time.These activities can also be used as a whole-class lesson where the entire class completes the centre inconjunction with one of the subtasks.

1. Under the CoverA guessing game that has part of a pattern covered and the students are challenged to determine what ishidden under either a small cloth or container. Have available some manipulatives that can be arranged into apattern (buttons, pattern blocks, etc.). The pattern can be given by the teacher or created by a partner. Thestudents create and extend patterns. They solve the problem of what part of the pattern is hidden. They playthe game in pairs and then come together to discuss their strategies for finding what is hidden. This activityallows students to focus on the elements of a pattern, and being able to identify patterns can help them makepredictions about what will occur next.

In centres 2, 3, and 4, the students can record their patterns onto recipe cards, which can be put into a filefor other children to reproduce or extend. Have the name of the pattern creator on the card. As a studentcompletes the pattern on the card, have him or her write his or her name on the card too, and a comment onhow the pattern worked.

2. Staircase PatternsStudents work to create a series of towers with interlocking cubes.The first tower is one cube tall, the second is two cubes tall, the third tower is three cubes tall, etc. Within thetowers there can be a colour pattern.Then, with a partner, the students take turns hiding their eyes while their partner takes away a tower fromthe pattern. They try to guess which one is missing. The towers can be rearranged to make the game moreinteresting. Students take turns to do the hiding and guessing.

3. Geoboard Patternsa) Students need geoboards, rubber bands, paper, and crayons or pencils.Use the rubber bands to make shapes on the geoboard to form a pattern. Copy the pattern on paper.Encourage the students to use letter notation to describe the pattern that they have created.b) Students need geoboards, rubber bands, and interlocking cubes.Have the children make a pattern of lengths with the interlocking cubes. Then reproduce the patterns usingthe rubber bands on the geoboards. For example, if they have an AB pattern using towers of two and fourcubes, they would use the rubber bands to stretch over two and four posts on the geoboard. When thestudents reproduce the pattern on to geoboards, they are identifying that patterns can be represented indifferent ways.

4. ButtonsProvide a station in the classroom where buttons are available to create a pattern. They can be sorted bycolour, shape, size, and number of holes. Have students copy their pattern onto paper or recipe cards.

5. 3D PatternsHave pictures of samples of architecture where patterns are present (e.g., bridges, brick walls, ceiling tiles).Provide an area where children can use toilet paper rolls, cereal and tissue boxes, etc., to create patterns.Encourage them to build a structure that has a pattern in it.

6. Listen to the PatternYou will need 12 water glasses of the same size and style, water, and a xylophone mallet.Create a water xylophone by labeling the glasses A, B, or C. Pour the same amount of water in each glassthat has the same letter so that they will sound the same when struck by the mallet. Students may arrangethe glasses in a different order to form a repeating patter (e.g., ABC, AABBCC).

7. Word FamiliesYou will need charts with common word families, paper, and pencils.Students will identify common word ends or families as they write them on paper. Examples could includeendings such as -it, -ap, -ick, etc. Using the -ap ending they could write tap, trap, map, sap, flap, nap, etc.

Students with special needs, including those identified as ESL learners, may require additional time to exploreeach task. Another suggestion is to allow these students to work with a buddy to complete the task.

Teaching / Learning1. (30 minutes)After reading the story Something from Nothing, discuss with the children how pieces of old material can beused to make something new. Bring out a quilt or pictures of quilts from magazines, books, or catalogues.Brainstorm about the quilt. Here are some suggested questions to getting students to start thinking aboutpatterns in quilts:- How were they made?- Do you see different designs?- What colours do you see?

2. (20 minutes)With the children create a Quilt Chant.You may wish to follow the sample below based on Margaret Wise Brown's poem Bugs.

I Like Quilts____________quilts (Use adjectives supplied by the children to fill in the first four blanks.)____________quilts____________quilts____________quiltsAny kind of quiltsI like quilts!A quilt on my/the ____________. (Use nouns to fill in these four spaces.)A quilt on my/the ____________.A quilt on my/the ____________.A quilt on my/the ____________.I like quilts!__________quilts (Use six more adjectives to describe more quilts!)__________quilts__________quilts__________quilts__________quilts__________quiltsI like quilts!

Chant your new creation with your class everyday. You can cover some new adjectives and nounsoccasionally to introduce or reinforce colour words, shape words, and other nouns. This may create a sillychant but the children will enjoy the new creation. As the unit progresses and the children learn more aboutpatterns, the chant can be reconstructed to show what they have learned. You may wish to have eachstudent write their own chant at any point during the unit.

3. (30 minutes)Show a variety of wallpaper samples. While in pairs ask the children to compare patterns that they see in thewallpaper (shapes, colours, lines, forms).Provide for each child a folded piece of construction paper (in half) with a square of wallpaper pasted on theleft hand side of the paper so that the wallpaper is touching the fold. The children are then asked tocontinue/extend the pattern of the wallpaper on the right hand side of the construction paper.You may wish to demonstrate or provide examples of completed wallpaper patches.

Notes to TeacherThis subtask can be started concurrently with subtask 1. The introduction and the creation of the chant can bedone on the same day as you evaluate the prior knowledge of your students. Then, the creation of thewallpaper patch can be done in a subsequent day.

Investigate in your community to see if there is someone who has quilts that he or she can bring in to your classand talk about them with your students. Also check with staff members, student families, and of course, yourown family. Having these examples available will stimulate the students' creativity and sparkle their enthusiasm.

Go to your nearest wallpaper/paint store and ask them for old wallpaper sample books. Merchants are usuallyvery happy to help schools out. Leave your name and school phone number so that they can call you when newcatalogues come out so they can pass the old ones to you.You can also use fabric samples. Check with your local stores.Wrapping paper is another alternative to wallpaper.

Kids in Quilts Subtask 3Attribute Blocks

Patterns An Integrated Unit for Grade 1 mins60

Teaching / LearningIn this subtask students will learn about:

a) Different kinds of attributes. Specifically:colour - usually the primary colours: red, blue, and yellowshape - square, rectangle, circle, triangle, and hexagonthickness - thick and thinsize - big and smallYou may want to list and display these words in the classroom so the students can refer to them whenneeded.

Depending on how familiar your class is with attribute blocks, you might want to spend some time on sortingthe blocks into smaller groups using one attribute, such as all the squares, all the blue blocks, all the thinblocks. This will help the students see that the blocks have different attributes which may be the pattern rule.

b) The use of variables notation to describe a pattern, that is, to describe a pattern through the use of letters.For example: AB pattern might be: red, yellow; an ABB pattern might be: thin, thick, thick.

1) Using the attribute blocks, create a pattern where only the attribute of colour changes. Example: blue, red.Use all of the shapes, sizes, and thickness. Discuss how this is a pattern. Make sure that the studentsunderstand that even though it has many different shapes and sizes, it is the colour that makes it a pattern.Introduce that this is called an AB pattern.

2) Ask the students if they can make an AB pattern using just shapes (where thickness, colour, and size arenot an issue). Demonstrate their ideas. Even if they do not work out, you can discuss as a group why not,and how you can solve the problem together.

3) Break the whole group into smaller groups and ask them to make their own ABB pattern using their ownattribute blocks. Ask for a volunteer from the group to display and talk about their pattern.If the students need a direction as to how to start their pattern, you may want to give them a starter. (Usesize, for example. "You have big and small blocks. Use the size to make an ABB pattern.")

4) Continue giving the smaller groups an opportunity to work together on different challenges:a) Give the pattern rule, they can be asked to use variable notation.Orb) Given the attribute to use they can be asked to produce their own pattern and discuss the notation of theirpattern rule.

5) Response JournalGive the students their own journal (you can provide a small notebook or photocopy BLM 3.3). Ask them torespond to this question: "Draw a pattern. What can you write to tell about your pattern?"

Students could use attribute blocks, or pattern blocks, and trace them to complete the pattern in the responsejournal.

AdaptationsSome students may be overwhelmed with the number of attributes these blocks have. To help them decrease thenumber of attributes available, divide the blocks into one colour or shape first and then use the remainingattributes as part of your pattern rule (e.g., big red circle, small red circle). You may also consider using patternblocks instead as they change only in shape and colour (see notes to teacher).

Notes to TeacherThe use of attribute blocks gives the students the opportunity to use attributes other than shape and colour, asattribute blocks also vary in thickness and size. If you do not have attribute blocks and do not wish or have thetime to create your own, the use of pattern blocks is an option. Carefully adapt your questions so that they donot ask students to use thickness or size as part of the pattern rule.

charts/lists posted in the room and on individualword lists);

1e15 A – use capitals to begin sentences and todifferentiate certain words (the pronoun I, names,days of the week, and months);

1s50 – identify food as a source of energy for themselvesand other living things;

1p6 – suggest occasions (e.g., a bake sale, a classparty) when they can choose healthy food snacks,and describe the factors affecting their choices(e.g., choices made because of allergies or culture);

1p5 – identify the food groups and give examples offoods in each group;

1s9 – describe some basic changes in humans as theygrow (e.g., growth of feet, hands, arms; loss of babyteeth), and compare changes in humans withchanges in other living things;

1m104 A – read and discuss data from graphs made withconcrete materials and express understanding in avariety of informal ways (e.g., tell a story, draw apicture);

1m103 A – organize materials on concrete graphs andpictographs using one-to-one correspondence;

DescriptionAfter reading the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, the children will discuss the patterns in the book andcycles that occur in the life of a caterpillar. While learning the life cycles, the students will develop arespect for nature and an appreciation of God's gifts in our world. They will make connections tochanges that occur in the human life cycle and how it is a predictable cycle (i.e., pattern). This may be anopportunity to discuss fruits as part of a nutritional diet.

Rating Scale:1) Student receives one check mark for eachday named in order.

2) Student receives one check mark perentry graphed correctly with one to onecorrespondence from the data tallied in thefruit log. Your student should be able toreceive one point per day regardless of thenumber of fruit eaten that day (i.e., Billy hasno fruit on Tuesday and therefore shouldnot graph anything. He would still receive amark for not graphing because he isfollowing the one to one correspondencefrom his fruit log.)

3) Student receives one check mark foreach time he/she uses a capital at thebeginning of the days of the week on theirfruit log.

Teaching / Learning1. Read the book and discuss patterns.Examples of some patterns seen in this story include:a) Days of the week. Throughout this subtask, students will be assessed on naming the days of the week inorder.b) Number of fruit eaten increases by 1 after each consecutive day.c) The life cycle of the butterfly.

2. Students will keep a daily journal/log of the fruit that they eat each day for a week. This can be recorded fromfruit eaten at home or school. Remind the students that they will be assessed on the use of capitals (to beginsentences and days of the week). You can use BLM 4.1 provided, create a small booklet by stapling foldedsheets of paper, or your choice of booklet.

3. At the end of the week, students will use the daily journal to tally their results and report these results as apictograph. You may need to provide a mini lesson on pictographs and graphing depending on the priorknowledge of your students in this area. BLM 4.2 is a basic one and you may wish to elaborate if there is a need.

4. After each student has completed their personal graph, the class will come together to create a class graph.Discuss with the children some information learned from the data displayed in the graph (e.g., most eaten fruit,least eaten fruit, etc.).

As a follow-up to this task, the students could write in their math journals what they discovered about their eatinghabits (e.g., I ate more bananas than apples this week).

AdaptationsStudents who are at the higher range in your class can expand upon this assignment to include the fruitconsumption of different family members. They can then create a graph to show the fruit consumption of thefamily. This can be extended to discuss the amount of fruit that needs to be purchased for the family.

For students who are having some difficulty, they can take a tally of the fruit they have in their lunch. This limits theamount of data and size of the graph. You can consider doing a class tally every day of fruit found in lunches, andthen at the end of the week continue with the class graph.

Notes to TeacherAs an extra patterning activity you can create your own fruity shish kabob.Give each student a wooden shish kabob rod. Make sure the ends of the rods are not sharp. You mayneed to cut off a sharpened end. Have a variety of fruit cut into small pieces. (Double check for any fruitallergies in your class.) Place fruit in their own bowls (i.e., a bowl of cherries, a bowl of bananas) and alsohave a bowl of marshmallows. Have the students create repeating patterns by skewing pieces of fruit onthe rod. Make a chart to display the students' patterns. One student might have an ABC pattern using acherry, pineapple, and marshmallow. Have students describe their pattern before they eat the fruit.

The story of Creation (Genesis) is an excellent story to reinforce the days of the week. You may wish toread and discuss this with your class. Consider creating a timeline with the days of the week listed anddraw what God created on each day.

Today is Monday is another book written by Eric Carle. It provides the days of the week pattern as well asa growing pattern of things to eat each day.

As the students present, watch for how theyexplain their patterns.Do they use the notations or the variables,or do they use just words? (E.g., "I made anAAB pattern" vs. "I stamped a dime, dime,penny, dime, dime, penny.")Do they use words like "extend," "patternrule," "model," "repeats"?

per period. The centres can occur one per day or you may wish to have a whole day of centres to completethe subtask in one day. Each session, one student per group will orally present what he/she has completed inclass. By the end of the subtask, every student should have an opportunity to discuss the pattern rule he/shehas used as well as any other interesting facts/information they have learned that day. Encourage the use ofwords like: "extend," "pattern rule," "model," "repeats" and the use of the AB notation of variables.

If you are not comfortable using centres, or your class does not have adequate experience in centres, youcan adapt this activity to meet your and your students' needs.You can decrease the number of centres operating at one time. Consider the centres as teacher-directedwhere the whole class does one or two centres on one day allowing you to manage one or two centres at atime.

Activity Centre 1 -- Snap CubesStudents create their own pattern using interlocking cubes. Then they ask a person from their group tocontinue the pattern that they have started. Once they have successfully completed the pattern, they recordtheir rule on BLM1. (You may wish to refer to the resource list for this subtask for alternate worksheets.)Students should include the notation of variables.Students who finish early can continue to make other patterns. They are encouraged to create more complexpatterns and be able to report on their rule.

Activity Centre 2 -- Modeling Clay and Cookie CuttersAfter each student has made his/her pattern using the clay and cutters, they will ask a friend in their group toextend it. The student will then trace his/her cookie cutters to record the pattern.You may wish to use sponges and paint instead of the modeling clay and cookie cutters, or add a separatecentre for sponge painting patterns.

Activity Centre 3 -- InstrumentsAllow the students to use a variety of rhythm instruments and explore the sounds. Then a student acts asleader and starts a pattern. Other students extend and continue the pattern. Each student in the group shouldhave the opportunity to be the leader. A timer might be appropriate to help the student monitor and manage theamount of time each person is the leader.

Activity Centre 4 -- MoneyUse coin decals, coin stamps, or coin cutouts (see Resources section for this subtask). Students will createtheir own pattern on paper. Again, a friend in their group will extend their pattern as they extend someoneelse's.

Activity Centre 5 -- DramaStudents will create their own story miming like charades. They can choose something like the life cycle ofthe butterfly or the frog, the seasons, the life of a baby tooth, or their routine for getting ready for bed. Have arecorder who will draw a picture or write a word to help them remember the sequence. For example he/shewill draw a toothbrush for brushing teeth, a pillow for climbing into bed, a book for bedtime story....Then, each student in the group will follow the pictorial sequence to extend the pattern of the scene (i.e., ifthe pattern is toothbrush, pillow, book, praying hands, the students will act out brushing teeth, climbing intobed, reading a book, and saying prayers).The life cyle of an animal is an interesting sequence to act out as it will show different generations. Sara actsout the life cyle of a butterfly and when Kyle continues it, he acts out being her son, and when Mollycontinues it, she is the third generation.It is more difficult to give a variable to an action but if they can give their actions a picture it helps the childrensee that patterns occur in our everyday life.This may be an interesting activity to do as a whole class outside of the centres subtask.Allow enough time for cleanup and of course ample opportunity for the children to talk about their patterns.

They will be enthusiastic about their products and will definitely want to share their pattern rules.

AdaptationsAre there any students who are having a difficult time creating a simple pattern? They will need more attention andperhaps require a bit more structure. Provide them with a pattern to reproduce and then show them that extendingis almost the same as reproducing a pattern.

Students who need a bit more of a challenge can be asked to create more complex patterns using a third or fourthattribute.

Students who finish early can maintain their own tracking sheet in their journal to help them monitor where theyhave been. They may also write about what they have learned at each activity in their journal using pictures andwords.

Notes to TeacherThis subtask offers you the opportunity to introduce or review the names and values of coins.

As this is a very busy subtask, you may wish to include parent volunteers at some of the activity centres.The volunteers can help keep the children on task as well as help them reach their goals. Students fromolder grades can act as math buddies to help out as well. Perhaps having a meeting with volunteers and/orbuddies to show them what you expect them to do while assisting you in the classroom would be helpful.

The licensed software Sammy's Science House has a section in "the movie theatre" which providesexcellent suggestions for sequencing, and thus a routine or cycle that the students can use as an examplefor the drama centre. You may wish to explore with Sammy prior to the centres subtask to get acquaintedwith the program. The students can go to Sammy's Science House at anytime during this unit to get ideasabout sequencing.

They are to fill in the blanks with adjectives (colour) and nouns. Then draw pictures to accompany their story.

There are a number of different ways you can approach this:a) Life cycle of an animal (Tiny egg, what do you see? I see a green tadpole looking at me.... I see an adultfrog looking at me.)b) Different types of fruit (fuzzy peach, red cherry)c) Friends (kind Sasha, artistic Sandeep, soccer Kim)

4. Let students know that you are looking for proper punctuation and capitals at the beginning of sentencesand names.

5. Allow a time for sharing the pattern stories.

AdaptationsThe length of the booklet can be altered depending on the ability of the student. A stronger student may becapable of writing a longer story and a weaker student fewer pages. More experienced writers can produce a storywritten without filling the blanks on photocopied sheet but writing the complete story on their own.

Adapt the expectations of students who are struggling with printing and the writing process. For example, the useof capitals may be limited to one of the three required in this subtask (i.e., only check for capital "I" or at beginningof sentences).

Letter Patterns in Names (quilt piece #1) (40 minutes)1) Use 100 chart paper as a grid (BLM 7.1). The student prints his/her name, one letter in each square.He/she repeats this pattern until all the squares are filled in.2) The student then colours in the first letter of his/her name each time it occurs.3) Encourage students to talk about what patterns they see. (E.g., Samuel will have a coloured square andthen five letters not coloured.)4) You can sort their quilt pieces by the pattern of shaded boxes.Students who finish early can start colouring the second letter of their name a different colour, then the thirdletter....

Finding Patterns in Sequential Order (quilt piece #2)Part 1 (60 minutes)1) Display a 100 chart. To encourage a discussion about the 100 chart, ask the following questions:Why do you think this is called a 100 chart?How many rows are there?How many columns are there?Do you see any patterns?What do you notice about the first number in each row? the last number in each row?What do you notice about the digits in each column?2) Hidden number game: Remove or hide numbers one at a time and ask the students to guess which numberis missing (hidden).3) Another hidden number game: Remove or hide numbers (several at a time), display the numbers on apredetermined space beside the chart. Ask students which numbers go in which space.These hidden number games can be played throughout the unit.4) Each student is given a 100 chart which is partly completed (BLM 7.2). Using what they have learnedabout patterns and their knowledge of sequential numbers, they print in the numbers that are missing. Youmay wish the students to work with a partner to discuss what numbers are missing. But each student isencouraged to complete their own 100 chart.5) HOMEWORK: Assign "100 Chart Home Link" (BLM 7.3).

Part 2 (30 minutes)1) Display a completed 100 chart. Ask the students to look for any patterns that they see. Facilitate thediscussion by asking questions about certain "rows" and "columns." Then shade in the correspondingsquares on the large chart. You may want to use a laminated chart and markers for this.2) Ask the students to find other patterns on a 100 chart (BLM 7.4). This can be the chart that they completedfrom part 1 or it can be a new one provided by the teacher.3) Provide an opportunity for students to talk about their patterns in front of the class. To help students whohave difficulty verbalizing their pattern, ask questions about what is the same/different in the column or rowthey have coloured.

Skip Counting Using the 100 Chart (quilt piece #3) (40 minutes)1) Ask students who can skip count by 10s. As someone counts, cover the numbers that they say on thelarge class 100 chart. Discuss what pattern they see. Leave this pattern displayed and move to another 100chart and ask for someone to count by 5s. Again, ask the students what pattern they notice. Move to a thirdlarge 100 chart and continue this process, this time skip counting by 2s.2) Each student will need a completed 100 chart (BLM 7.4), small counters, and coloured crayons (bingodaubers). Ask each student to choose one of the patterns discussed today and copy it on their new quiltpiece. The small counters can be used to cover the numbers before they start counting. Some students maynot need the counters, whereas others will feel more comfortable using them as a guide.Students who finish early can continue with another pattern on another 100 chart.3) Assign Homework "Skip Counting" (BLM 7.5).

Find It Quick (A game)This game can be used for students who finish early, as a whole class activity, or as part of the learningcentres available throughout the unit.Ask students to find a number in a 100 chart using their knowledge of the patterns and cover it with abutton or other small item. Continue with other numbers.Example: Ask students to find # 60. They can deduce that all numbers that end with zero are found at theright hand side of the chart. They look down that column only instead of counting from 1 to 60 or randomlylooking for 60.

Expectations1m24 A – use a calculator to explore counting, to solve

problems, and to operate with numbers larger than10;

1m28 A – demonstrate that addition involves joining andthat subtraction involves taking one group awayfrom another;

1m88 A – use a calculator and a computer application toexplore patterns;

DescriptionStudents will use calculators to explore patterns in odd and even numbers using addition and subtractionkeys. They will also identify the effects of zero in combining and separating combinations.

AssessmentThe purpose of this subtask is to allowstudents the opportunity to explore patternsthrough the use of a calculator and makeconnections and review expectations ofsubtask 7. It also gives the students anotheropportunity to discuss patterns in a numericsense as opposed to the visual patterns(shape, colour) that we see in our world.

Things to look for:1) Are the students working well withpartner? Opportunities to share calculatorand take on responsibility of the recorder.2) Are they able to transfer their knowledgeand skills from subtask 7 to this subtask(covering squares, counting, recognizingnumbers)?3) Response journal: Are students able towrite or draw to explain their thinking?4) Are they comfortable and at ease with thecalculator?

the calculator. Be aware that not all calculators work the same. For some, pushing the (=) sign repeatedly willcreate the skip pattern. Other calculators need the whole operation to be keyed in each time.Remember that many computers have a calculator feature. (Some students may never have used a calculatorbefore, so a mini lesson about its keys and care may be necessary.)

Students will be working in pairs to use the calculators. If you do not have enough calculators for pairs youcan increase your group to three or four students. The pairs will need to listen to instructions given by theteacher. Discussion, questions and answers will occur among the pair and within the whole class. Theteacher will use the overhead projector and 100 chart acetate to show the whole class as they work withtheir partners.

Part 1 (40 minutes)Have the students work in pairs. One student can record the numbers as the other uses the calculator.1) Provide a starting number for the students and ask them to add 10 repeatedly, recording each new numberwith a button or cube on the 100 chart. Ask them to describe the pattern.2) Can the students use the 100 chart to predict the next number in the pattern? Check their using thecalculator.3) Starting with the same number ask the students to add five repeatedly, again marking the answers on the100 chart. Discuss the pattern.4) Continue this with adding two, then one, and finally zero repeatedly.5) Discuss why adding zero to the pattern does not change the initial number.6) Repeat the process with different numbers as the starting point. Allow enough time for the students toexplore the number patterns and to discuss the similarities and differences among them.7) response journals: Students write about how addition patterns are done on calculators, 100 charts, andusing their "brain." Which would they prefer to use and why?Provide real-life questions for the student to use their new skill. E.g., Marci has an allowance of 3 dollars aweek. If she has 5 dollars and waits 3 weeks how much money will she have? (5+3+3+3=...)

Part 2 (40 minutes)Use the same format and procedure as in Part 1, but this time after choosing a number, subtract by 10, 5, 2,1, or 0. (Be sure to remind the students to stop at zero when extending their patterns, as the calculator willcontinue to subtract into negative integers.) Again, review and discuss why zero does not change the initialnumber keyed into the calculator.Discuss with the class that when subtracting numbers get smaller and go up on the 100 chart and whenadding the numbers get bigger and go down the 100 chart.response journal: How is addition different from subtraction?You can use a math notebook or BLM 3.3 (Patterning Journal) from subtask 3 when responding.

Expectations1m91 A – compare patterns using objects, pictures, actions,

and spoken words.1m90 A – given a rule expressed in informal language,

extend a pattern;1m89 A – talk about a pattern rule;1m86 A – use one attribute to create a pattern (e.g., thick or

thin, open or closed);1m85 A – recognize similarities and differences in a variety

of attributes (e.g., size, shape, colour);1m84 A – describe, draw, and make models of patterns

using actions, objects, diagrams, and words;

DescriptionThe students will create a square for a class quilt. They will use two items that change one attribute(colour) to create a pattern sequence such as AB, ABB, AAABB. They must be able to describe thispattern rule and extend the pattern further. The students will be encouraged to apply their abilities to makea meaningful contribution to a class project, as their square will be pieced together with the otherstudents' work to make a class quilt.

Teaching / LearningPreparation:Each student will need a black square of construction paper (30 cm square). They will use precut 5 cm squares inblue and red to create a pattern on the square. Blue and red will be the class pattern rule, it is up to the individualstudents to create their own pattern rule on their quilt square.

Let the students experiment with patterns on their desktop before gluing the squares onto their square ofconstruction paper. We suggest they practise at least three times in order to find a pattern that they like.

Give the students their large square so they can glue their pattern onto it.

Ask students to describe their patterns. Encourage them to use letter notation.

When piecing the squares together for a quilt, we recommend that you use a 30 cm square of yellow as analternating square between the students' pieces. This will incorporate the primary colours into the quilt.

You may wish to laminate the pieces for the celebration.

Students may use their math journal to describe a model of their pattern using words or pictures.

Self-assessment can be done by students using BLM 9.1.

AdaptationsStudents who need a bigger challenge can use more than one shape. For them, you may include other shapessuch as triangles, octagons, circles, etc. Consider limiting the colours to just blue and red as this will have agreater effect on the overall appearance of the class quilt.

Teaching / LearningPreparation1) Have students create a small bracelet using beads and string. Encourage them to use the colours, shapes,and sizes of the beads to create a pattern in their bracelet. You can include the pattern of letters WWJDwhich stands for "What would Jesus do?" When you discuss the pattern of Jesus' life during the liturgy, youcan explain how we as Catholics strive to be like Him. These bracelets will be used as part of the prayercelebration.

2) On the alternating yellow squares of the class quilt created in subtask 9, write some of the many miraclesand good works that Jesus did while with us on earth. We Belong to God Year 1 has aims that help grade 1students appreciate the Bible as a book of stories to show us how Jesus lived.

For example:Jesus blesses the children (Mark 10.13-16)Feeding the 5000 (John 6.1-13)Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10.25-37)Parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15)Jesus the Good Shepherd (John 10.2-5, 11.14-16)Jesus and Zaccheus (Luke 19.1-10)Jesus cruses the blind man (8.22-26)Jesus heals the paralyzed man (Luke 5.17-19,24-25)A woman forgiven (Luke 7.36-59)The Golden Rule: Love your neighbour as yourself (Matthew 7)Jesus restores Jairus' daughter to life (Mark 5)Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15)Jesus forgives his enemies

3) Have booklets from subtask 6 on display as well as the mini quilts from subtasks 2 and 7.

4) Have parents bring in snacks and food for the celebration. Choose interesting foods that show patterns,such as shish kabobs (see subtask 4), Neapolitan ice cream, sandwiches using white and brown bread,cinnamon buns, animal crackers (for patterning).

5) You may also wish to decorate the room with paper chains. Students can work in groups to createpatterned links with construction paper or wallpaper strips.

6) Have children dress in clothing that have patterns on them for this special day.

Prayer CelebrationInvite family, principal, available staff, and priest to your celebration.

Introduction:Today we are gathered here to celebrate the many patterns we are blessed with in our lives. We seepatterns in nature, in the cycle of life, and seasons. We hear patterns in music and in the sounds of ourdaily lives. We touch patterns that are in quilts, nature, and our clothes. Let us take a moment to thank ourGod for these wonderful blessings (pause).

Let us look at our wonderful quilt that we worked together to make. Think of how hard we worked. How muchfun we had and how much we learned. Now look at the words that are part of our quilt. They tell us thestories of Jesus' life. Let's listen to some of these stories.

Liturgy: (Suggestion)Matthew 25:31-46....when have I seen you hungry, thirsty, sick or imprisoned? When you help the least important ones, you did it for me!You may wish to choose another passage which depicts the pattern that Jesus wants us to live.

Homily:Discuss with the children how Jesus lived his life in the pattern of helping everyone, being friends to all, andforgiveness. And He asks us to follow his way, to continue the pattern of his life in everything we do.E.g., Being helpful and kind to a new student. Inviting a lonely class mate in your game at recess.This is also an excellent opportunity to reinforce the WWJD bracelets and how we can model Jesus in ourdaily lives.

Presentation:Have all the students' names in a hat. Ask each student one at a time to come up and draw a name from thehat. They give the bracelet that they have made to this student. Perhaps this is an opportunity to tell a positivequality to the friend as they give their bracelet. If you have chosen not to create a bracelet, you can hand outthe certificates at this time.

Closing Prayer:Let us pray with the words that Jesus taught us. Our Father...

Or duplicate this page three times and have the students colour one page red, one page yellow, and one page blue. Once the thick and thin blocks have been cut out, youwill have a set of 60 attribute blocks. Create as manysets as necessary for your class. These can be laminated and saved from year to year.

Duplicate three copies of this page on thicker paper (tag board). If thicker paper is not readily available, use the thickness of the lines to help you discriminate the thickness of the shape. Another idea is to paste the shapes on to cardboard. Again you may have the students colour one page red, one page blue, and one page yellow.

In class, we have been arranging numbers in order using a 100 chart.

DIRECTIONS: Use this chart to play games with your child at home. Use coins, buttons, or small pieces of paper to cover some numbers. Help your child find out which numbers are hidden. Use the patterns in the chart to help. You can play this game over and over again when you cover different numbers every time.
