Grade 7 Ontario Math teachers! SAVE HOURS of TIME using this detailed Patterning unit. The 3-part lessons, activities, and assessments help students to identify and compare shrinking, repeating and growing patterns, and compare linear growing patterns by constant values.

Our resources encourgage students to use and develop their Knowledge, Application, Thinking, and Communication skills in a way that will prepare them for success in grade 8. You can see a detailed list of lessons below.

Please Note: The grade 7 and 8 expectations for Patterning are VERY similar. The newest lessons and resources are IDENTICAL for grades 7 and 8. The previous versions are not identical and are still available as part of this package.

Distance Learning - These units were not specifically designed for Distance Learning, but we've been told by many buyers that the resources were very helpful for supporting students during online learning.

We are very proud of the feedback we are receiving for our math units!

"This resource is complete with 3-part lessons and examples that help link Patterning & Relationships to real-life applications. The "I Have/Who Has" activity was especially engaging for my students!"

"I absolutely love all of your math units. My go-to seller for a math unit! Thank you very much!"

The newest version is Google Slides. I project these in my classroom for students to see. It reduces photocopies and makes life much easier because the setup is done in advance.

We have created lessons that correspond to each of the expectations of the Ontario curriculum. All lessons follow a 3-part format including expectations, learning goals, examples, minds-on activities, action activities, extension/discussion activities, and consolidation activities. In some instances, there are two lessons to cover an expectation because of the depth and/or difficulty. I would suggest you move on at a pace appropriate for your students.

Original Version

• Lesson 1: represent linear growing patterns
• Lesson 2: make predictions about linear growing patterns
• Lesson 3: develop and represent the general term
• Lesson 4: compare patterns rules that include different operations

STATIONS (CENTRES)

Give your students to work on the material in a different way. I use this as an opportunity to spend some time with GUIDED GROUPS (Questions included) for the first half of the period and monitor/assess during the second half of the period. If you have a challenging class, this can a difficult routine to establish, but well worth the effort!

• Two guided stations
• Two Mental Math stations (Extending Patterns and General Term)
• Using Manipulatives (Back to back communication)
• Dinner Party (Problem Solving)
• Jeffrey's New Job (Problem Solving)
• (Media) Video Links

STUDY GUIDE and UNIT TEST (with answer keys).

I give the students the STUDY GUIDE at the beginning of the unit and have them meet with me periodically before the test to ensure they understand the material

I HAVE... WHO HAS ... ACTIVITY (Increasing Linear Patterns)

I have found that these activities are an excellent way to review skills.
