Need a resource to assess the skills of identifying patterns, sequences, mathematical expressions and algebra? Use this check-in assessment assignment as either a formative or summative piece. See what your students understand from Parts 1, 2, & 3 before introducing more complicated expressions and algebra in Part 4.

Chunk distance-learning into manageable lessons using the Identifying Patterns and Sequences series. Invest in this resource to use in the future as emergency sub plans and/or presentation slides for in-class instruction.

Specific Learning outcomes and content:

• Describe the pattern rules in the table and predict subsequent elements
• What is an expression? Definition and examples

This Google Slides presentation includes:

• kid-friendly instructions
• specific learning outcomes (see above)
• 4 question pattern problems to identify the sequence and explain the rule the pattern follows
• answer key
