Subject: Mathematics

Grade Level: Grade 1

Objective:

A. Determine the missing term in a given continuous pattern;

B. Complete and give the missing term in a given continuous pattern; and

C. Tell the importance of determining patterns in life.

Learning across curriculum:

1) Science: Identifying patterns in the growth of plants. Students can observe how
plants grow from seeds to seedlings to mature plants, recognizing the pattern in
growth stages.

2) Language Arts: Recognizing patterns in storytelling. Students can identify the

sequence of events in a story and understand how patterns contribute to the flow of
a narrative.

3) Social Studies: Understanding patterns in historical events. Students can analyze

historical timelines to recognize patterns in significant events and their impact on
society.

ENGAGE:

Teaching Strategy: Picture Analysis

Instructional Materials: Pictures of various patterns

1) Idea - Show pictures of different patterns and ask students to identify and describe
the patterns they see.

2) Idea - Have students create their own patterns using colored shapes and share
them with the class.Explore:Explore:

Activity 1: Pattern Puzzles

Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning

Materials: Pattern puzzle cards

Significance: Develops critical thinking and pattern recognition skills

Instructions: Distribute pattern puzzle cards to students and have them complete
the missing sections to continue the pattern.

Rubric - Correctness of pattern completion - 10 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1. What is the next shape in the pattern: square, circle, triangle, square, _____?

2. Can you identify the missing shape in this pattern: red, blue, red, blue, _____?

3. Explain the pattern in this number sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, _____?

Activity 4: Pattern Block Designs

Materials: Pattern blocks, design templates

Significance: Enhances spatial reasoning and pattern recognition skills

Instructions: Provide students with design templates and pattern blocks. They must
complete the missing sections in the designs using the correct pattern blocks.

Rubric: Accuracy of completed designs - 15 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1. Which pattern block should come next to complete this design: square, triangle,
square, triangle, _____?

2. Can you identify the missing pattern block in this design: blue hexagon, yellow
triangle, blue hexagon, yellow triangle, _____?

3. Explain the pattern in this shape sequence: circle, square, triangle, circle, square,
_____.

Activity 5: Pattern Hunt

Materials: Pattern cards, magnifying glasses

Significance: Encourages observation and pattern recognition in the environment

Instructions: Hide pattern cards around the classroom or school grounds. Students
use magnifying glasses to find the cards and identify the patterns on each card.

Rubric: Accuracy of pattern identification - 10 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1. What pattern did you find on the first card during the pattern hunt activity?

2. Can you describe the pattern on the third card you discovered?

3. How many different patterns did you observe during the pattern hunt activity?

Activity 6: Pattern Poetry

Materials: Paper, colored pencils, pattern examples

Significance: Integrates pattern recognition with creative writing skills

Instructions: Provide students with examples of patterns and ask them to create
pattern poems where the structure of the poem follows a specific pattern in terms of
rhyme scheme or syllable count.

Rubric: Creativity of pattern poem - 20 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1. How did you incorporate a pattern into your poem structure?

2. Can you explain the significance of using patterns in poetry writing?

3. Describe the pattern you used in your pattern poem and why you chose that
specific pattern.

These additional activities aim to engage students in diverse ways to enhance their
understanding of patterns and their applications in various contexts.

EXPLAIN:

Teacher demonstrates completing and determining missing terms in patterns,

encouraging student participation and questioning to reinforce understanding.

ELABORATE:

Teaching Strategy: Real-Life Scenario

Task 1: Students identify patterns in their daily routines and create a visual
representation of their activities in sequence.

Task 2: Students observe patterns in nature, such as the phases of the moon, and
create a simple chart to track these patterns over time.

EVALUATE:

Teaching Strategy: Games and Gamification

Question 1: Identify the missing number in this pattern

Question 2: Complete the pattern

Question 3: Explain why recognizing patterns is important in solving problems in

mathematics and real-life situations.

Assignment:

1) Assign students to create a pattern-based storybook, where they illustrate a story

using patterns in the narrative flow.

2) Ask students to find patterns in nature around their homes and document them in
a pattern journal.

I hope this detailed lesson plan helps in effectively teaching Grade 1 students about
patterns
