Heritage: Line Dance is a Pattern!
Line dancing is the repeating of a pattern of steps, done to music. Teach youngsters how to line dance and they won't feel so awkward when they grow up. Let them experiment with creating their own patterns and teaching their classmates....

Growing, Growing, Gone
Budding mathematicians identify growing patterns in numbers and songs then create their own patterns. They look at number patterns and language patterns and then create their own using money and footprints.

Repeating and Growing Patterns homework 6.5
In this continuing the pattern worksheet, students observe patterns, write the numbers, draw the next picture, and identify sequence as a repeating pattern or a growing pattern. Students write four answers.
Curated OER
Repeating Patterns
Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.

Patterns That Grow
Young scholars investigate growing patterns. In this additive patterns lesson, students analyze the core of growing patterns. Young scholars extend additive patterns based on the core.
Inside Mathematics
Hexagons
Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Tile Patterns that Grow
Students explore how a pattern built with square tiles grows and describe the change from stage to stage. They predict later stages of a tile design sequence and create math equations related to the growth of tile designs.
Virginia Department of Education
Relationships Round Robin
Mathematics is all about patterns. Young mathematicians analyze geometric patterns to write algebraic expressions. They use the expressions to predict future stages of the patterns.
Curated OER
Footprints
Students explore patterns. In this patterns geometry lesson, students identify and extend patterns including body parts, movement, geometric shapes, noises, and footprints. Students create and share an original pattern.
Curated OER
Table Settings
Students make organized lists and find patterns to help them solve problems. They draw table formations and label how many people can sit there. They make predictions about how the tables be set up and what happen to the seating.
