 TEACHING MATH IN THE PRIMARY GRADES

This approach is all about making math come alive! It’s not just about
memorizing formulas, but about understanding how math works in reality and how can it
can help us solve problems. It encourages learners to think critically, work together, and
appreciate the power of math in their own lives.
Big Idea: Determination of missing terms contained in patterns

By the end of this 45 minutes lesson, students must have; make objective outcome base:
 (Cognitive Domain) Recognize and complete simple repeating patterns.
 (Affective Domain) Demonstrate excitement when identifying and completing patterns.
 (Psychomotor Domain) Use physical objects to create and extend simple patterns.

Title: "Pattern Detective Challenge"

Materials Needed:

 Colorful pattern cards (printed or cut-out cards with shapes, numbers, or colors)
 Markers, crayons, or colored pencils
 Small objects (e.g., buttons, beads, or counters)
 Pattern Detective Worksheet (with spaces for learners to draw or write their answers)

Preparation:

1. Create Pattern Cards:

Prepare cards with various patterns, leaving a spot for the missing term. For example

Shape Patterns: , , , ____ .

Number Patterns: 2, 4, 6, __, 10

Color Patterns: Red, Blue, Red, __, Red

 2. Pattern Detective Worksheet:
Create a simple worksheet where learners can fill in the missing terms, with a column for
the pattern and a space to write or draw the missing term.

Steps:

1. Introduction:
o Begin by explaining that the class is going to become "Pattern Detectives" for the
day. Their mission is to solve a series of pattern puzzles by finding the missing
pieces.
o Show examples of simple patterns (like 1, 2, 1, 2, __ or red, yellow, red, __) and
ask the class to identify and complete them.
2. Pattern Detective Challenge:
o Step 1: Divide the class into small groups or pairs.
o Step 2: Give each group a set of pattern cards with missing terms and a Pattern
Detective Worksheet.
o Step 3: learners will work together to figure out the missing terms in the patterns,
using objects (buttons, beads) or by drawing/coloring the patterns.
o Step 4: Encourage learners to explain the pattern rule they used to find the
missing term (e.g., "I noticed that the numbers go up by 2 each time, so the
missing number is 8").
3. Interactive Group Sharing:
o After completing the worksheet, have each group share one or two patterns they
solved with the class. They will explain how they figured out the missing terms
and describe the rule they used.
o Optionally, turn this into a fun "Pattern Detective Quiz," where groups take turns
presenting a pattern for the rest of the class to solve.
4. Conclusion:
o Praise learners for their detective work and the creative ways they solved the
patterns.
o Reinforce how recognizing patterns helps us solve problems in everyday life
(e.g., routines, schedules, nature, etc.).

Cross-Subject Integration: Connect to Language Arts: fill in missing words in a story or

poem, Science: notice patterns in nature, Music: fill in missing notes in a melody.

Value Focus:

 Curiosity: Desires to understand the sense behind the patterns and resolve the mystery
of missing pieces.
 Problem-solving: The ability to process information and use strategies in solving
problems.
Title: Pattern Detectives!
Let's Become Pattern Detectives!
Remember our puzzle games? We were like detectives, searching for clues to solve the
mystery of the missing pieces. Today, we're going to be Pattern Detectives! Patterns are like
secret codes that repeat over and over. Let's see if you can spot the patterns!
Look at these pictures:

Can you see the pattern? It's red, blue, red, blue... What color comes next?
What about this train?

Can you tell me the pattern of the train cars? Yes, it's red, blue, yellow, red, blue, yellow... What
color comes next?
Patterns are everywhere! We can find them in nature, in art, and even in our own lives. Let's be
great Pattern Detectives and find them all!
Math Connection:
* Count the red and blue circles. How many of each are there?
* Count the train cars. How many red, blue, and yellow cars are there?
Art Connection:
* Let's draw our own patterns! We can use shapes, colors, or lines.
Science Connection:
* Look for patterns in nature. Can you find stripes on a zebra or spots on a ladybug?
Remember, Pattern Detectives are:
* Observant: We notice details.
* Creative: We can make our own patterns.
* Good Thinkers: We can solve puzzles and figure out what comes next.
Let's keep practicing and become even better Pattern Detectives!

Pattern Block Fun!

Materials:
 Pattern blocks (sets of geometric shapes like triangles, squares, rhombuses, trapezoids,
hexagons)
 Paper
 Crayons or markers
Instructions:
1. Divide students into small groups of 3-4.
2. Give each group a set of pattern blocks.
3. Show them a simple pattern using the blocks. For example:

-Red triangle – Blue square – Red triangle – Blue square

- Yellow hexagon – Green triangle – Yellow hexagon – Green triangle

4. Ask them to copy the pattern with their blocks. Encourage them to talk about what they see
and how the shapes repeat.
5. Remove one or two blocks from the pattern.
6. Ask the group to figure out what’s missing and replace the missing blocks. Let them use the
pattern blocks to help them solve the puzzle.
7. Have them draw their completed pattern on paper.
Cross-Subject Integration: Include Technology when you are using digital tools, which will help
in producing and manipulating patterns and applying Language Arts to write an explanation to
your solutions.
Value Focus:
 Teamwork: A means of working together toward problem-solving and idea-sharing in
a cohesive unit.

 Responsibility: Member responsibility for tasks to facilitate shared contributions

toward the success of the group.

Pattern Party Test!

Instructions:

 Do your best! Remember, we’re all pattern detectives!

 Use your crayons or markers to color the shapes or write the numbers.
 Have fun!

Part 1: Color the Patterns

- Look at the pattern below. Color the missing shapes to complete the pattern.

1. Red Circle – Blue Square – Red Circle – Blue Square.

2. Yellow Triangle – Green Star – Yellow Triangle – Green Star.

3. Blue Square – pink Circle – Blue Square – Red Circle.

4. Purple Heart – Orange Star – Purple Heart – Orange Star.
