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}

Topic

Patterns

Grade/Age Group

Grade 1 (Ages 6-7)

Subject

Mathematics

Lesson Length

30 minutes

Class Size

20 students

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, particularly focusing on recognizing and extending patterns.

Learning Objectives

• Students will understand the concept of patterns as sequences that repeat.
• Students will be able to identify and create their own patterns using various materials.
• Students will enhance their critical thinking and problem-solving skills through pattern recognition.

Materials

• Colored blocks (in various colors)
• Pattern cards (with visual examples of patterns)
• Whiteboard and markers
• Worksheets for individual practice
• Timer or stopwatch

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (mins)	Details
1	Introduction to Patterns	5	Discuss what patterns are. Use simple examples (e.g., ABAB, AABB) and ask students if they can identify them in everyday life.
2	Demonstration	5	Show examples of patterns using colored blocks. Build a pattern with the blocks in front of the class.
3	Guided Practice	10	Divide students into small groups of 4. Provide each group with different colored blocks to create their own patterns. Circulate to assist and observe.
4	Individual Practice	5	Hand out worksheets that have incomplete patterns for students to finish. Each worksheet will have visuals to help them.
5	Review and Check Homework	5	Go over the homework from the previous lesson. Ask students to correct their work independently, providing assistance as needed.
6	Closure	5	Recap what patterns are and ask a few students to describe the patterns they made. Collect worksheets and provide feedback individually later.

Assessment

• Observe students during group work to assess understanding and collaboration.
• Review completed worksheets to evaluate students' ability to identify and extend patterns.

Homework

Assign students to create a pattern using items found at home (e.g., toys, buttons) and to take a picture of their pattern to share in the next class.

Additional Notes

• Ensure to modify group dynamics based on students' varying abilities.
• Prepare for diverse learning needs by having additional support for students requiring extra assistance.
