Unit 2 - Pattern Trains and Hopscotch Paths

• Observes and describes attributes of objects and sets of objects, such as size, color, shape, and quantity
• recognizes and describes a repeating pattern; discriminates between a pattern and a random arrangement of design
• decides which attribute to focus on when constructing a pattern
• copies, constructs, and extends patterns, such as a-b, a-a-b-b, and a-a-b
• records a pattern
• predicts and verifies what comes next in a pattern
• begins to identify and construct a unit of a pattern (the element that repeats)
• adds units to continue a pattern
• begins to make and compare patterns that use the same unit structure
• constructs and extends patterns that grow (or shrink) in predictable ways
• defines a "rule" for how a pattern grows or shrinks
• creates, represents, and interprets patterns of physical movements, such as hopping or jumping
• constructs a linear pattern in a rectangular frame
