Learning Objectives

Indicator: B4.2.1.2.1 - Create a concrete representation of a given pattern displayed in a table or chart

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Read and interpret a table showing a number pattern involving one operation.
Extend a given pattern in a table by continuing the operation to find missing values.
Build a concrete representation of a table pattern using linking cubes, counters, or other manipulatives.
Match each row or position in a table to its corresponding model made with concrete materials.
Explain how their concrete model shows the same pattern as the table.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. 1. Provide a table showing a pattern (involving one operation) such as the one below. Students can complete the table and create a concrete representation using linking cubes or other manipulatives

Visible labels, values, and notation include: Figure; Number of Cubes; 3; 2; 6; 4; ?; 5; 8.

 The table (Figure 1-8 over Number of Cubes 3, 6, 9, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) is set below the exemplar and its cells interleave with it in the text layer; the figure shows it.
