Introduce patterning in a fun, clear, and engaging way with this Grade 1 Patterning digital lesson, designed for Google Slides.

Using fill-in-the-blank task cards and interactive activities, students learn key patterning concepts while actively identifying, extending, and creating their own repeating shape and number patterns.

This resource introduces essential math vocabulary, including pattern, attribute, pattern core, and pattern rule, and gives students multiple opportunities to apply their understanding through guided practice.

Activities are ideal for whole-class instruction, small groups, or independent digital work, making this a flexible option for both in-person and online learning.

The lesson aligns with the Grade 1 Ontario Mathematics curriculum, but can also be used in other classrooms where these patterning concepts are taught. Please see the product preview for a full overview of included slides and activities.
