Students sort pictures of food and create patterns.
In this final lesson of the unit, students display their knowledge of properties of objects for sorting and creating patterns.
Students sort objects and symbols and make patterns with sorted objects.
In the following lesson, students participate in activities in which they focus on connections between mathematics and children’s literature.
The following activities deal with patterns and the importance of looking at data from more than a single perspective.
Students sort objects and observe the properties others use for sorting.
Students build on prior knowledge of sorting and classifying when they recognize sorts and name rules for sorting.
