Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. Present learners with a geometric design series, such as the one shown below. Ask them to extend the pattern and record it in a T-chart. Ask learners what the 10th step would be. What would the 12th step be? What would the 20th step be?

 The design series (#1 to #4) and the "Design # / # of Square" T-chart are drawn below the exemplar and their labels interleave with it in the text layer; the figure shows them.
