Snowflake Number Patterns for Upper Grades

Today is the last day to enter the amazing contest for the Winter Wonderland Blog Hop.

Yesterday I shared my Snowflake Pattern Freebie which is part of my newest set.

Teaching
patterns starts in kindergarten and
it gets more and more complex as

they
move on into upper elementary (functions), middle school (algebra/geometry),
high school (Trigonometry) and beyond.

Learning
to recognize
patterns helps children to make
connections, make predictions and begin to understand how different things work
together. My kiddos struggle with patterns A L-O-T, so
I created this pack to use for intervention. There are 3 different activities
for your students to complete while practicing patterns and functions. They
vary in complexity and difficulty by exploring a variety of patterns (x,+,-, ÷). Students
investigate patterns and think critically.

3 snowflake pattern worksheets that have the students figure out, complete the pattern and state the rule.

My kids especially struggle with word problems. Most of my students are English Language Learners so when they see words in math they shut down. I am planning on using these as a Problem of the Day. I included a space for them to show their work and explain their rationale.

My kids LOVE playing math games during center time. Some even come in at lunch to play! I created this Pattern Review Game for them. It can be played in groups of 2-4 (or you can couple a high student with a struggling student and have them play 2 vs. 2).
