Lessons in this unit

1. Patterns in shapes and designsLearning to spot patterns in shapes and designs and say what we see.C1.1
2. Patterns that grow and shrinkLearning to tell when a pattern grows, shrinks or stays the same size.C1.1
3. The same pattern in a new wayLearning to show one pattern with shapes, numbers, sounds and actions.C1.2
4. Pattern rules and predictionsLearning to use a pattern rule to finish a pattern and to guess what comes later.C1.3
5. Number patterns up to 100Learning to find and make number patterns that count up and down.C1.4
6. Mystery numbers and things that changeWe are learning that a shape or letter can stand for a number we do not know or a number that changes.C2.1
7. Same or not the sameLearning to tell when two sides are equal and when they are not.C2.2
8. Make both sides equalLearning to add or take away so both sides are equal, and to split a number in different ways.C2.2, C2.3
9. Coding: steps in orderLearning to give a robot steps in order to reach a goal.C3.1
10. Coding: read, fix and change codeLearning to read code, find a mistake, fix it, and see how a change affects where the robot goes.C3.2
11. Coding: two things at onceWe are learning that two parts of code can happen at the same time and that a wait can keep things apart.C3.1, C3.2
12. Modelling: plan a garden pathLearning to plan a real path with a pattern, count what we need, and check if our plan works.C1.3, C2.1

Ontario curriculum expectations covered

C1.1

Spot and talk about patterns in shapes and designs, including ones that grow, shrink or repeat, in everyday life.

C1.2

Make a pattern and show it again in a different form, such as shapes, numbers, sounds or actions.

C1.3

Work out a pattern rule, then use it to finish the pattern, find a missing piece, and guess near and far parts.

C1.4

Create and describe number patterns that count up or down, for numbers within 100.

C2.1

Notice when a symbol stands for a number that changes or is unknown, and say how it is used.

C2.2

Add or take away so that two sums or differences become the same amount.

C2.3

Use the idea that one number can be split into parts in many ways, and parts add back to the whole.

C3.1

Write and run simple code, including steps that happen one after another or at the same time.

C3.2

Read code, change it, and say how the change changes the outcome.

C4

Use the steps of mathematical modelling to plan a real situation, make a prediction and check it.
