Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. 1. Given the numerical pattern, ask students to extend the pattern and explain how they determined the pattern and its missing elements

E.g. 2. Ask students to use manipulatives to represent this pattern and describe the relationship between the chart and the concrete representations The A/B table (1-2, 2-4, 3-blank, 4-8) is set beside E.g. 1 and its cells interleave with the exemplar and with the indicator heading in the text layer; the figure shows it.
