Learning Objectives:

• I understand that patterns can repeat or grow.

• I can create the next step in a growing pattern.

• I can identify the rule for a growing pattern.

 What Are Growing Patterns?
Patterns can be repeating,

• Like this

• Or this

• Or this

Repeating patterns follow a rule while repeating and changing.

 What Are Growing Patterns?
Or patterns can grow,

• Like this

• Or this

• Or this

Growing patterns repeat, following a rule, but have something added each time
they repeat.

So, How Are Growing Patterns Made?

Growing patterns use rules to show,

What is added;

And

How much is added at each step.

How Are Growing Patterns Made?

Step: 1 2 3 4 5

Rule: Add One Square at each step.

How Are Growing Patterns Made?

Step: 1 2 3

Rule: Add Two Squares at each step.

 Can You See What Comes Next?

Step: 1 2 3 4

Rule: Add One Circle at each step.

 Can You See What Comes Next?

Step: 1 2 3

Rule: Add One Circle and One Triangle at each step.

 Can You See What Comes Next?

Step: 1 2 3 4

Rule: Add One Green Square and Two Blue Squares at each step.
 Can You See What Comes Next?

Step: 1 2 3 4
Rule: Add the Same Number of Triangles as the number of the steps.
 Activity

• Use the pattern cards and pattern blocks to copy and extend growing
patterns.

• Use pattern blocks to create your own growing patterns.
