Georgia 1.PAR.3

1.PAR.3 is a Georgia mathematics standard. These are the expectations under it.

• 1.PAR.3.1

  Investigate, create, and make predictions about repeating patterns with a core of up to 3 elements resulting from repeating an operation, as a series of shapes,...

• 1.PAR.3.2

  Identify, describe, and create growing, shrinking, and repeating patterns based on the repeated addition or subtraction of 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students recognize repeating, growing, and shrinking patterns in objects, pictures, and familiar settings. They describe the rule, continue the pattern, and make a new example.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students find the repeating unit or tell how a pattern changes from step to step. They extend patterns correctly and create their own pattern that follows a clear rule.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may name the colors they see without finding the smallest part that repeats. They may add or remove different amounts each time and still call it a growing or shrinking pattern.

04

How to Assess It

Show 2, 4, 6, __ objects and 7, 6, 5, __ objects. Have students fill each blank, explain the change, and draw one repeating pattern.

1. 01

   Give pairs colored cubes to build, extend, and trade repeating, growing, and shrinking patterns for a partner to solve.

2. 02

   Show three picture patterns and ask, "What repeats or changes, and what should come next?"

3. 03

   Play Pattern Match by pairing rule cards, such as add two, with picture cards that follow each rule.

4. 04

   Photograph patterns on floor tiles, shelves, or fences, then have students label each as repeating, growing, or shrinking.

• K.PAR.6

  Explain, extend, and create repeating patterns with a repetition, not exceeding 4 and describe patterns involving the passage of time.

• 2.PAR.4

  Identify, describe, extend, and create repeating patterns, growing patterns, and shrinking patterns.

• 2.PAR.4.2

  Identify, describe, and create growing patterns and shrinking patterns involving addition and subtraction up to 20.

• K.PAR.6.1

  Create, extend, and describe repeating patterns with numbers and shapes, and explain the rationale for the pattern.
