Technology Connection:
Technologies that will be used in this lesson include:
Procedures:
Step One:
Introduction
Have a small group of students go to a computer. Explain to
students that you are going to use the computer to read an
Mini-Research eBook
about patterns and how to make them.
List 2 or more
questions that introduce students
to your Mini-Research eBook that will establish a
connection to students' prior knowledge by asking them:
1. "Does anyone know what a pattern
is?"
2. "Can anyone tell me how to make a pattern?
Today we are going
to read an eBook
on the Internet.
I have made a special Mini-Research eBook on the Internet for your
class. (During discussion have students turn around away from the
computer to interact.)
Estimated Time for Step One:
5 minutes
Step Two
Teaching the Primary Learning Outcomes:
(Students will sit at the computer where they can control the mouse
and computer.) (Explain to students the process of the
lesson.) We are going to read my Mini-Research eBook and visit
several websites.
Check for understanding
Students with teacher assistance will read the Mini-Research eBook,
explore, and
discuss
the information in the four linking websites that go with the
Mini-Research eBook. Ask
students guiding
questions about the important concepts in the Mini-Research eBook and
the linking
websites. List four or more questions from each of your
linking websites that will guide your students to gain information for
your PLO.
1. In the first example,
can you tell me what the next sequence for flower, star, flower, star
might be?
2. On page 2 can
you please tell me what the next two shapes might be?
3. On this website there are four
silly faces that form a pattern, what is the next silly face in the
pattern?
4.
One this website you can color
you own beads while making a necklace, can you copy the pattern that is
shown above using different colors?
Practice and feedback related to the
PLO
Read the Mini-Research eBook project to students. Explain to
students that
they
are going to be going on a
treasure hunt and they are giong to have to be treasure hunters.
Tell
the
students that the information that they will need to complete
their Mini-Research eBook project is listed and connected in
the Mini-Research eBook
activity. Review the
information in the linked website in
the Mini-Research eBook activity with the students to emphasize
interesting and important information students will need to complete
mission
project.

| Let's
Go on a Treasure Hunt |
| Real-World Activity: We are going to be explorers for the day! We are going to travel deep into the jungle and see what we can find! After traveling for a little while we come across a treasure chest, but it's locked! In order to unlock th treasure chest we need to complete a pattern that is on the top. There are a few gem stones that form the pattern and we want that treasure so we need to figure out what stones go next! Once we have completed the pattern and the treasure chest is unlocked, it reveals a shiny treasure inside! We all know that we want that treasure, but to be fair we have to split it up evenly amongst ourselves. When we split our treasure up evenly we will be forming patterns! |
| Lesson
# 1 Directions: 1) Complete a pattern on top of treasure chest using gems to get to treasure inside. 2) Once we have unlocked the treasure chest we must split the treasure that we discovered evenly. In order to split it up evenly, we must form patterns. 3) After everyone works together to form these patterns I am going to take pictures of your work and post it on my website! 4) If you need some help, go back and look at these helpful websites about patterns!! a. VROOM!! b. silly c. Make your own! |
| Lesson
# 2 Directions: 1) I want you to use paint to make your own patterns. I want you to form your own patterns using shapes and colors. 2) I will be giving you all a little treasure box and after you put your own treasure inside of the box then you will paint a pattern on top of the treasure chest. 3) I will be posting these on my website so try your hardest, I can come around to help whoever needs it. |
[Students will write (or dictate to teacher) information to be included
in
their Mini-Research eBook
project.
While
students are completing Mini-Research eBook project, teacher
will observe students and give assistance when needed.]
Step Three
Closure:
Have students discuss their Mini-Research eBook activity and
information they found on the Internet.
Tell students that your Mini-Research eBook Website is on the Internet
and
they can
visit the website at school or home. Explain to students
that you are going to put their pictures and information
on the Internet and they will be able to share their pattern
projects with
their friends and family. (If possible teacher should take
brief
notes during the lesson and concluding discussions to be added
later
to the assessment and reflections in lesson plan.)

Comments & Reflections:
Assessment for the
Primary Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
Student will be assessed through
observation, oral discussion, and developed product to
evaluate if student: Students will
create patterns using different objects.
| Level 3 | Level 2 | Level 1 | |
| PLO: Students will create patterns using different objects. | Student with teacher guidance is able to recognize complex such as ABAB, ABBAABBA, and ABCABC patterns using different obejcts. | Student with teacher guidance is able to recognize semi-complex patterns such as ABAB, ABBAABBA using different objects. | Student does not understand the concept of patterns using any type obects for aid. |

Descriptions
of Students' Evidence that Illustrate the Achieved Performance Level of
the PLO (* To receive full credit description must include minimum of two sentences and a detailed example of the students' evidence.) |
| 1 |
2 |
This student understood the
concept of patterns but did not understad how to form the more complex
patterns. She was able to form simple ABAB patterns but was still a
little unsure how to do the ABBA ABBA patterns. |
| 2 |
2 |
This student also understood the
complex of patterns that were semi-complex but still did not understand
the concept of complex patterns. He also understood the ABAB patterns
but was a little unsure of how to do the ABBA ABBA patterns. |
1.
Comment
on your
teaching of how your
Mini-Research eBook
Lesson created learning experiences and activities that
implemented the use a variety of resources and technologies. (*
To receive full credit description must include a minimum of two
sentences and a detailed example.)
The students in the activity have used patterns before in their every
morning routine they do when they complete a pattern. The students
really understood the ABAB pattern and somewhat understood the ABBABB
pattern but when it came to the ABCABC pattern, they were getting a
little lost and confused.
2. State evidence to show that
your students gained knowledge during your Mini-Research eBook
Lesson. (*
To receive full credit description must include a minimum of two
sentences and a detailed example.)
Once my students were done doing the eBook activity they had a better
knowledge of patterns and understood that you can use shape and not
just color. Also when the lesson was over they had a better
understanding of the more complex patterns but did not understand them
completely.
3. Give at least one suggestion that
would lead to improving your teaching practices and student
achievement. (*
To receive full credit description must include a minimum of two
sentences and a detailed example.)
I think that a way to improve my student achievement or my teaching
practices would be to try and physically have them try to complete more
complex patterns so they can practice how to do them. I also think that
I could try to direct their attention away from the computer while I am
trying to teach the lesson.
