Learning Segment Planning Guide Pfaff.

2023
Mathematics Central Focus/Big Idea or Essential Question:
Recognizing, understanding, and predicting patterns or sequences.

Learning Standard and Content Targets for Learning Segment:

 Common Core Content Standard:
 Lesson 1 Target: I can recognize patterns or sequences in a series of whole numbers.
 Lesson 2 Target: I can understand the rule of patterns and sequences and determine the next
term in the series.
 Lesson 3 Target: I can predict numbers in a sequence of whole numbers.

Mathematics Practices:
 Lesson 1: Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
 Lesson 2: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Construct viable
arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
 Lesson 3: Model with mathematics. Use appropriate tools strategically.

Academic Vocabulary: pattern, sequence, nth term

Lesson 1 Learning Tasks: Materials & Technology:

Introduction: show students examples of real-world patterns Individual white boards

Lesson 2 Learning Tasks: Materials & Technology:

Work in pairs to create a pattern and explain the rule that Laptops
generates it.
Show students a series of numbers and have them determine the
rules of each.

Lesson 3 Learning Tasks: Materials & Technology:

Show students a series of numbers and have them predict the nth Laptops
term in a pattern.

Preassessment: Formative Assessments: Summative Assessment:

Online recognizing patterns Ask one representative from Project demonstrating the
preassessment, to obtain each group to explain their ability to create patterns,
results immediately. pattern at the board. sequences, and predict nth
terms in the sequences.
