What type of questions can I expect to find in this numerical patterns packet? 

• Given the first five terms of a numerical pattern, students are asked to find the rule. 
• Patterns in this packet include all four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, & division). 
• Students are given a numerical pattern with a few terms missing.  They are asked to find the rule and fill in the missing terms. 
• Students use a rule to create a numerical pattern and then are asked to discuss other patterns they notice. 

What does Sally’s “gradual release model” entail? 

• Sally’s lessons follow an “I Do, We Do, You Do” format.  A math concept is introduced whole group, students then practice with a partner, and finish with independent work time.  This deliberate scaffolding keeps students from feeling defeated or frustrated! 
• Sally’s packets also build slowly in difficulty.  We meet students where they are, regardless of level.  As students gain confidence, the problems get progressively harder.  Not all students will complete all problems and that is by design!  
• Each packet finishes with a “Challenge Page” for anyone who needs something extra!

In addition to the deliberate scaffolding, these 4th grade patterns worksheets also include an instructional guide jam-packed with teaching hacks and best practices.  There is also a “Misconceptions” section that allows you to be one step ahead of mistakes students are most likely to make.
