      Resource Description: In this cluster of 4 activities, students use interactive math applets to learn about repeating and growing patterns. In the first part, students use an interactive square-pattern grid to create, describe, and analyze repeating patterns based on a two-square pattern unit. In the second part, repeating patterns with pattern units of three, four, and five squares are investigated. In Part 3, students use an interactive cube-sequencing applet to analyze repeating patterns of colored cubes. In Part 4, growing patterns of colored cubes are created, described, and analyzed, and compared to repeating patterns.
      Instructional Component Type(s): Worksheet, Virtual Manipulative, Teaching Idea (Primary Type)
