Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Plan

Topic

Pattern

Objectives

• Students will be able to identify and create simple patterns using colors, shapes, or objects.
• Students will demonstrate an understanding of the concept of repetition in patterns.
• Students will develop fine motor skills through hands-on activities related to pattern-making.

Materials

• Colored building blocks
• Paper shapes (circles, squares, triangles)
• Markers and crayons
• Pattern worksheets (matching and creating patterns)
• Interactive whiteboard or chart paper

Grade/Age Group

Reception / Kindergarten (Ages 5-6)

Subject

Mathematics

Class Size

20 Students

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with early childhood mathematics standards that focus on pattern recognition and creation, as outlined in the national curriculum.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (mins)	Details
1	Introduction to Patterns	5	Begin by discussing what patterns are. Show examples through objects and visuals. Ask students if they can think of any patterns they see in their environment.
2	Demonstration of Patterns	5	Use building blocks or paper shapes to demonstrate creating a simple pattern (e.g., red block, blue block, red block). Invite students to join in and create their own patterns in pairs.
3	Guided Activity	10	Distribute pattern worksheets that require students to match or extend given patterns. Walk around to provide support and feedback while students work independently.
4	Hands-On Pattern Creation	7	Provide students with colored building blocks or paper shapes to create their own patterns. Encourage creativity and different ways to represent patterns.
5	Sharing and Discussion	3	Facilitate a brief discussion where students can share their patterns with a partner (without presenting to the whole class). Ask them to describe what they created.
6	Conclusion and Review	2	Summarize the lesson by highlighting key points about patterns. Reinforce that patterns can be found everywhere, and remind them to look for patterns in their daily lives.

Homework

• Assign a simple pattern creation task where students will draw a pattern at home using two to three colors or shapes.
• Collect homework the next day for review without requiring any student to present their work in front of the class.

Assessment

• Informal assessment during activities through observation of participation and understanding of patterns.
• Review completed worksheets and homework for accuracy and effort, providing feedback to students as needed.
