We are a class of Prep students, sharing all that's happening in our classroom. This blog was started by the first group of Gems, a Year One class back in 2007. We, the 2012 Gems are proud to continue on the conversation. You can read, watch and listen as we share our learning journey - a journey where we 'learn to blog' and 'blog to learn'. Please visit regularly to see what's new and join in the conversation - we'd love for you to be part of our learning.

GROWING PATTERNS

Today we explored GROWING patterns.


GROWING patterns do not repeat.

They GROW!



First we created our patterns. Some were GROWING, some looked like they were SHRINKING and some looked like they did both!
















Then we took one part of our pattern away.




Others had to look closely at our pattern and work out the rule we had used to make our pattern.






Then they put back the missing part.









No-one was tricked.
WE WERE JUST ALL TOO CLEVER!

What ideas do you have for a GROWING pattern?
Make one at home. Draw it or now you can take a photo of it and email it to 1mgems@gmail.com
