Understanding Patterns and Sequences

The teacher engages students in a discussion about the current date and explores patterns in a calendar grid. Students identify patterns in the grid, focusing on arrays and squares. They recreate an array on the board and discuss its dimensions. The class then explores a mystery bag, predicting the colors of tiles inside based on previous observations.

What is the date mentioned at the beginning of the lesson?

• 20th October

• 19th October

• 18th October

• 21st October

What pattern is observed in the calendar grid regarding numbers?

• Multiplying by three

• Adding two on each side

• Adding one on each side

• Subtracting one on each side

What color pattern is identified in the calendar grid?

• Red and Yellow

• Blue and Green

• Green and Purple

• Blue and Purple

What is the sequence of the numerical pattern involving addition and subtraction?

• Add four, subtract two

• Add three, subtract one

• Add five, subtract three

• Add two, subtract one

What is the predicted length of the day's calendar grid?

• Seven

• Eight

• Six

• Five

What do the 'yes' squares represent in the calendar grid?

• Whether the array is a circle

• Whether the array is a rectangle

• Whether the array is a square

• Whether the array is a triangle

What color is the calendar piece for the day?

• Yellow

• Blue

• Red

• Green

How many total squares are needed for the day's array?

• Twelve

• Nine

• Fourteen

• Sixteen

What are the known colors in the mystery bag?

• Green, Yellow, Blue

• Red, Yellow, Green

• Red, Yellow, Blue

• Red, Green, Blue

Why are there likely more red tiles in the mystery bag?

• More red tiles have been picked

• Red is a popular color

• Red tiles are larger

• Red tiles are heavier
