"Not only did I use this resource with pony beads as intended, but I used these cards for "starter" cards for students to complete patterns in other ways (ex: with brain flakes, legos, pom poms, etc.). I love the variety of options! "

Easy to read cards for my students. I have these as a morning tub, and they are great to them to work on independently.

I absolutely love using these pony bead pattern task cards in my classroom! They are perfect for morning tubs and independent work. My students stay engaged while practicing important patterning skills, and they’re also strengthening fine motor and hand-eye coordination. The task cards are clear, easy to prep, and great for differentiated instruction. Highly recommend!

Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Mathematically proficient students notice if calculations are repeated, and look both for general methods and for shortcuts. Upper elementary students might notice when dividing 25 by 11 that they are repeating the same calculations over and over again, and conclude they have a repeating decimal. By paying attention to the calculation of slope as they repeatedly check whether points are on the line through (1, 2) with slope 3, middle school students might abstract the equation (𝑦 – 2)/(𝑥 – 1) = 3. Noticing the regularity in the way terms cancel when expanding (𝑥 – 1)(𝑥 + 1), (𝑥 – 1)(𝑥² + 𝑥 + 1), and (𝑥 – 1)(𝑥³ + 𝑥² + 𝑥 + 1) might lead them to the general formula for the sum of a geometric series. As they work to solve a problem, mathematically proficient students maintain oversight of the process, while attending to the details. They continually evaluate the reasonableness of their intermediate results.
