1G6 – Recognizing Patterns

How do live lessons work?

Live lessons are interactive slides and course outlines that are used to teach Treeway Live Classes. Click on the arrows to navigate backward and forwards through the slides.

How Do I Use the Lesson Plans?

Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.

This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.

Can I show videos in live classes?

Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.

Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.

The video should make up only a small portion of the live class.

How do bookmarks work?

Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.

You can bookmark a lesson by visiting the lesson you want to bookmark and clicking the “bookmark” button in the bookmark section.

You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.

You can clear all of your bookmarks by clicking the “clear all bookmarks” button. Be careful, this will erase all of your bookmarks.

Main Teaching Points

  • Draw: a simple pattern on the whiteboard. (Ex: square, circle, square) Ask students if they know what comes next. (If you can’t draw, have a photo ready to share instead.)

  • Explain: What each a pattern is and how to extend patterns. Show a few pattern examples.

Discussion Questions

  • Create a shape pattern with the class. Ask: What comes next?
  • Can you complete number pattern? Ask: What comes next?
  • How do patterns help us make predictions?
  • Name animals Jehovah gave patterns to?

In-Class Activities

  • Coin Patterns: Use coins to make patterns.
  • Snack Patterns: Make patterns using snack food.  Cookies, pretzel, carrots, crackers, raisin, etc.
  • Toy Patterns: Use toys to make a pattern of different color toys. Photos of the results should be shared in the Grade 1 Class Group for other to students see.
