Subject: Mathematics

Grade Level: 1

Objective: Create repeating patterns using images.

I. Before the Lesson / Pre-lesson Proper

Activating Prior Knowledge:

[Teaching Strategy:] Cooperative Learning

[Instructional Materials:] Picture cards with different shapes and colors.

Engaging Activity 1 - Storytelling about patterns in nature (e.g., stripes on a zebra,

spots on a ladybug).

Engaging Activity 2 - Mystery Box containing items with patterns (e.g., patterned
fabric, stickers).

Engaging Activity 3 - Picture Analysis where students identify patterns in a

classroom or around the school.

Learning within and across curriculum

- Within:

1) Art - Recognizing and creating patterns in artwork or crafts.

2) Music - Identifying rhythmic patterns in songs.

3) Science - Observing patterns in plant growth or animal behavior.

- Across:

1) Filipino - Describing patterns using local cultural motifs.

2) English - Using vocabulary related to patterns in stories or poems.

3) Physical Education - Creating movement patterns in dance or games.

Establishing Lesson Purpose / Intention:

Today, we will explore how to create and identify repeating patterns using images.
Understanding patterns is important because they help us see order and predict
what comes next. I encourage you to think about where you see patterns in your
daily life!

Lesson Language Practice/Unlocking of Difficulties:

Key Terms: pattern, repeat, sequence, image, design

Key Concepts:

Concept 1 - A pattern is a sequence that repeats in a specific order.

Concept 2 - Patterns can be made using colors, shapes, or images.

II. During the Lesson Proper

Reading the Key Idea / Stem:

Patterns are sequences of images or objects that repeat in a specific order.

Developing Understanding of the Key Idea / Stem:

Activity 1: “Pattern Creation with Shapes”

[Teaching Strategy:] Inquiry-Based Learning

Materials - Shape cutouts (circles, squares, triangles) in different colors.

Significance - This hands-on activity helps students physically manipulate shapes to

create patterns.

Instructions -

1) Provide each student with a set of shape cutouts.

2) Instruct them to create a pattern using at least three shapes and colors.

3) Share their patterns with a partner and explain the sequence they used.

Rubric

- Creativity in pattern design - 10 pts.

- Correctness of sequence - 5 pts.

- Clarity of explanation - 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) What shapes did you use to create your pattern?

2) Can you describe your pattern to your partner?

3) How did you decide what came next in your pattern?

Activity 2: “Nature's Patterns”

[Teaching Strategy:] Discovery Learning

Materials - Pictures of natural patterns (e.g., flower petals, tree bark).

Significance - This activity connects students with the natural world and patterns
found in it.

Instructions -

1) Show students pictures of natural patterns.

2) Ask them to identify and describe the patterns they see.

3) Have them create their own drawing of a natural pattern.

Rubric

- Accuracy in identifying patterns - 10 pts.

- Creativity in drawing - 5 pts.

- Participation in discussion - 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) What kind of patterns did you observe in nature?

2) How are these patterns similar or different from the ones we created?

3) Why do you think patterns are important in nature?

Inclusive Activity 3: “Pattern Walk”

[Teaching Strategy:] Experiential Learning

Materials - None

Significance - This activity allows students to explore patterns in their environment

actively.

Instructions -

1) Take students for a walk around the school or classroom.

2) Ask them to look for patterns in different objects (e.g., tiles, clothing).

3) Share their findings with the class when they return.

Rubric

- Engagement in the activity - 10 pts.

- Observations made - 5 pts.

- Sharing findings - 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) What patterns did you find during the walk?

2) How did you identify those patterns?

3) Were there any patterns that surprised you?

Deepening Understanding of the Key Idea/Stem:

Activity: “Pattern Story”

[Teaching Strategy:] Project-Based Learning

Materials - Blank paper, markers, or crayons.

Significance - This activity encourages creativity while reinforcing the concept of

patterns.

Instructions -

1) Ask students to create a short story that includes a pattern (e.g., a dog with a
black and white pattern).

2) Illustrate the story with images showing the patterns.

3) Share their stories with the class.

Rubric

- Creativity in story and pattern - 10 pts.

- Clarity of patterns illustrated - 5 pts.

- Engagement during sharing - 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) What pattern did you include in your story?

2) How does your pattern relate to the story?

3) Why did you choose that particular pattern?

III. After the Lesson / Post-lesson Proper

Making Generalizations / Abstractions:

In conclusion, creating repeating patterns helps us recognize order and predict what
comes next. Patterns are everywhere, from nature to our daily lives, and
understanding them enhances our observation skills. By creating our patterns, we
can express our creativity while learning about sequences.

Supporting Material 1 - "Patterns Everywhere" by Tana Hoban: A book that

explores patterns in various environments through photographs.

Supporting Material 2 - "Pattern Play" by Eric Carle: A colorful book that

introduces children to patterns through engaging illustrations.
Assessment - Evaluating Learning:

[Teaching Strategy:] Think-Pair-Share

[Instructional Materials:] Worksheets for self-assessment and peer feedback.

Question 1 - Describe your favorite pattern you created today.

Question 2 - What materials did you use to create your pattern?

Question 3 - Why do you think patterns are important in our world?

H.O.T.S.:

Question 1 - How would life be different if there were no patterns around us?

Answer 1 - Without patterns, it would be hard to predict what comes next, making
our environment chaotic.

Question 2 - Can you think of a time when recognizing a pattern helped you?

Answer 2 - Recognizing a pattern in a math problem can help solve it faster by

knowing what comes next.

Question 3 - Why do you think artists use patterns in their work?

Answer 3 - Artists use patterns to create visual interest and rhythm, making their
artwork more appealing.

Additional Activities for Application / Remediation:

Assignment 1 - “Pattern Hunt”

Guiding Overview for Teacher: Students will go home and find three examples of
patterns in their environment (e.g., in clothing, tiles, nature) and take pictures or draw
them.

Assessment Question - What patterns did you find, and where did you find them?

Assignment 2 - “Create a Pattern Book”

Guiding Overview for Teacher: Students will create a small book of patterns, using
drawings or cutouts to illustrate different patterns they find or create.

Assessment Question - How did you decide which patterns to include in your book?
