Introduction To Patterns

In this introductory unit on patterns, Grade 3 students begin exploring algebraic thinking through the recognition, description, and creation of patterns using numbers and shapes. The focus is on identifying repeating and growing patterns, recognizing rules that govern these patterns, and expressing them using mathematical language or simple equations.

This unit introduces students to the foundational concept of patterns in mathematics, focusing on both repeating and growing sequences. Learners explore how to recognize, describe, extend, and create patterns using numbers, objects, and shapes.
