Teaching Hours 6 x 40-minutes
Grade Level/Age Range Grade 6
Brief Description The module engages students with growing patterns. Students engage in identifying and representing growing patterns, in finding recursive and functional relations.
Design Principles
Inquiry
Situatedness
Digital tools
Embodiment
  • Meaningful: Build on students’ intuitive knowledge and daily life experiences with real-life scenarios
  • Embodiment: Perceptual-motor (action-perception) experiences with noticing the covariation and correspondence relation by grounding the understanding on concrete actions about how the pattern grows
  • Inquiry based learning: explore recursive and functional relations
  • Digital: tablet devices equipped with appropriate apps
  • Didactical phenomenology / situatedness: the covariation and correspondence relations are recorded, tabularized and mathematized

Learning Goals
- Identify growing and repeating patterns
- Represent and describe growing patterns using words, table, graph
- Extend growing patterns using different modes of thinking
- Identify covariation and correspondence relations in growing patterns
- Express the relations (verbally/symbolically) and generalize
