Mathematical Patterns

Must watch video! This video is very interesting and is a good example of using patterns to figure out math problems more quickly. 

Here is our activity for today.

1. Select a partner and I will come around to assign each pair "A" or "B".

2. I will then pass out links to each pair in the class.

3. Each pair will create a pattern.

4. After a short period of time, enough to get the pattern started, the A's pass their patterns to the next pair of A's, and have the B's pass theirs to the next pair of B's.

5. This group will try to figure out the pattern and continue it. Then, pass the patterns to the next set of pairs.

6. We will continue this until the patterns are resumed to their creators.

7. Then, each pair will stand up and share their original and ending patterns with the class.

This will be the start of us learning how to use patterns to find results of math patterns more quickly.
