1-Choose a patterning rule (e.g.,AB or ABC)
2-Create a pattern following your rule
3-Explain your patterning rule using letters (e.g., AB, ABB)

Differentiate: Provide student with a blank AB patterning template to be filled in with nature objects.

Bump it up:
1-Can you extend your pattern by adding another attribute?
2-Can you explain your patterning rule using numerals?

Does anyone notice a pattern in this picture? What would be a rule for this pattern?

Examples:
1-Over, Over, Under,
2-A,A,B
3-1,1,2

Let's create a pattern by weaving ribbons into the fence.
1-Choose a patterning rule
2-You can weave in any direction (e.g., vertically, horizontally, diagonally, spiral)
3-Explain your patterning rule.

Differentiate: Provide a picture of a simple AB pattern for a student to emulate.

Bump it up: Can you make your patterning rule more complex by adding another attribute?
