Are you searching for a thorough and engaging unit plan for visual patterns and linear relations? Then this resource is for you!

This thoughtfully constructed unit is designed to bring math to life, ensuring an enriching learning experience for your students whether you’re in the classroom, at home, or distance learning. It was first developed for use in the redesigned BC Math 8 curriculum in British Columbia, Canada and is inspired by Fawn Nguyen's Visual Patterns: http://www.visualpatterns.org/

With editable files in both .pdf and .docx formats, you have the flexibility to customize the content to suit your students' needs and your teaching style. The preview document contains images and information about every resource included.

What sets this unit apart:

1. Formative Assessment Opportunities for Personalized Growth
   This unit has multiple formative assessment strategies where students can get specific feedback on their progress. There are also opportunities for students to self-assess and reflect, empowering students to become active in their learning. All questions are marked with icons indicating to students which mathematical competency they are pursuing, aiding their self-directed learning process.
2. Interactivity and Collaboration
   Each lesson comes with engaging warm-up ideas and interactive whiteboard activities, which help foster a supportive learning environment. Students will be actively involved and thinking in your classroom.
3. Differentiation
   Cater to diverse learning needs with differentiated daily practice assignments, tiered by difficulty level, allowing every student to challenge themselves and find success. There are also opportunities for extension - for example students get the chance to create their own patterns.
4. Real-World Connections and Project-Based Learning
   The rich task where students investigate choosing a gym membership and the project where students design Desmos Art give students opportunities to apply their learning and foster creativity and critical thinking.
5. Lesson Videos
   Links to YouTube lesson videos are included to go with the scaffolded lesson notes. They are a great tool for students who have been absent or who need to review a concept a second time.

Math concepts covered in this unit:

• Representing patterns visually and with equations
• Representing patterns with tables and graphs

What resources are included (every resource has a step-by-step detailed answer key):
