Growing Pattern

The video tutorial explores the concept of growth in various contexts, including people, animals, and patterns. It introduces the idea of growing patterns, differentiating them from repeating patterns. Through examples like flowers, blocks, ice cream scoops, and ladybugs, the video illustrates how growing patterns work. It concludes with a math challenge encouraging students to create their own growing patterns using household items like Legos and Skittles.

What is the main difference between a repeating pattern and a growing pattern?

• A growing pattern decreases in size or number.

• A repeating pattern changes its rule each time.

• A growing pattern increases in size or number.
