Dive into the mesmerizing world of patterns with the "Math FUNdamentals - Patterns & Relations Level 2 Workbook" for Grade 2 students. This captivating workbook is designed to harness the power of patterns to describe the world and solve problems, offering young learners a vibrant exploration of repeating and increasing patterns through a variety of mediums.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Pattern Exploration: Engage with repeating patterns of three to five elements and delve into increasing patterns, both numerical (up to 100) and non-numerical. Activities are designed to enhance understanding through description, extension, comparison, and creation.
• Interactive Learning Tools: Utilize manipulatives, diagrams, sounds, and actions to bring patterns to life, catering to diverse learning styles and ensuring a hands-on, engaging experience.
• Critical Thinking Development: Through sorting activities using two distinct attributes, students will not only practice pattern recognition but also develop critical thinking skills by explaining their sorting rules.
• Equality and Inequality Concepts: Introduce foundational mathematical concepts by demonstrating and explaining the meaning of equality and inequality, both concretely and pictorially, preparing students for more complex mathematical reasoning.
• Symbolic Representation: Encourage the development of mathematical communication skills by recording equalities and inequalities symbolically, using the equal (=) and not equal (≠) symbols.

Perfect for both classroom and home settings, the "Math FUNdamentals - Patterns & Relations Level 2 Workbook" is an essential tool in building a solid mathematical foundation. It not only fosters creativity and analytical thinking but also prepares students for future mathematical challenges by establishing a strong understanding of patterns and relations.

General Outcome:

and to solve problems.

Specific Outcomes:

It is expected that students will:

1. Demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns (three to five elements) by:
~ describing
~ extending
~ comparing
~ creating
patterns using manipulatives, diagrams, sounds and actions.

2. Demonstrate an understanding of increasing patterns by:

~ describing

~ extending

~ comparing

~ creating

numerical (numbers to 100) and non-numerical patterns us­ing manipulatives, diagrams, sound and actions.

3. Sort a set of objects, using two attributes, and explain the sorting rule.

4. Demonstrate and explain the meaning of equality and ine­quality, concretely and pictorially.

5. Record equalities and inequalities symbolically, using the equal symbol or the not equal symbol.
