- explain the rules for repeating “people” patterns. For example, who should be next in the pattern: boy, boy, girl, boy, boy, girl, ... and why?
- create and draw a repeating pattern.
Using this example, teachers could assess students’ ability to: - make and describe repeating and sequential patterns (A1); - continue a repeating and sequential pattern (A1); - devise and use problem-solving strategies to explore situations mathematically (MP1).
• Students illustrate and talk about relationships between two sets, for example, the relationship “likes” between a group of students and their pets (cats, dogs, turtles, canaries).
Using this example, teachers could assess students’ ability to: - illustrate and talk about relationships (A1); - use their own language … and diagrams to explain mathematical ideas (MP1).
