Pattern Lesson Plans

The Emergent Lesson Plans are organized by linkage levels (Initial Precursor and Distal Precursor) and by grade level bands: K-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Teachers should select lesson plans from the students' true grade level band at their current instructional level (initial or distal).

• Expected outcomes at the Initial Precursor level are increased attention, engagement, communication attempts, and interest in the math tools used during the lessons and routines.

• Expected outcomes at the Distal Precursor level are increases in the duration of attention and engagement, frequency of communication attempts, and attempts at using math tools during the lessons and routines.

The pattern lesson plans prepare students to work with patterns at the initial level by targeting the skills of ordering, classifying, contrasting, arranging objects in pairs, and understanding the terms "before", "after", and "next". At the distal level, students begin to work with patterns by recognizing and extending patterns.
