Students struggling to find shape patterns efficiently? USE THIS!
In my fourth grade classroom, my students were STUCK drawing out over 100 shapes instead of using strategies, so I created this math mat.
Students should be looking for the most efficient route to finding a term in a pattern.
1. Draw it out if the number is small.
2. Odd or Even?
3. Use a multiple?
4. IF NOT, use DIVISION!
Watch the video to see how division for number patterns works. This pairs with iReady Classroom Mathematics in 4th grade Lesson 9.
Hope this helps!
