Unit 4: Algebra 1
Concept 1: Numeric Patterns
Learning Standards and Lesson Objectives
VSC Standard: 4.1.A.1.a
Content Standard: Knowledge of Algebra, Patterns, and Functions
Topic: Patterns and Functions
Indicator: Identify, describe, extend, and create numeric patterns and functions
Objective:
1. Students will demonstrate an understanding of numeric patterns by working together in small groups
to complete Exploring Numeric Patterns worksheets.
2. Students will demonstrate an understanding of numeric patterns by working independently to
complete a Concept Assessment.
Assessment Limits
Use patterns of 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, or 9 starting with any whole number (0 to 100)
Materials
During this lesson, students will utilize: Daily Review worksheet, Mad Minute Math worksheet, Exploring
Numeric Patterns worksheets, Numeric Patterns Concept Assessment.
Motivation
In order to motivate my students, I will begin with the Guess My Rule game. In this activity, students will
view a number sequence on the board and have to identify the next numbers in the sequence and generate a
rule.
