Blog 15

Blog #15!


Observation: Patterning    

Reflection: On the last day of class before Christmas Break, Professor Antosz went over patterning with us in class and showed us the idea how we could teach a lesson on patterning incorporating the 12 days of Christmas.  Patterning, which is in fact a way of sorting different attributes. 



Reflection on Reflection:  The activity we did in class was something that was very clever and kept with the season that is present. The students will most likely be excited for Christmas, and this is a way to incorporate something relevant in their lives and create a math lesson around it.  I believe it would be a great activity for students to do with patterning if it fell within the Christmas holiday season. It is for sure an out of the "box activity" in which I feel would spark student interest. This lesson was not too difficult, and something that all students could participate in. This would be an excellent "hook" for a patterning lesson. As the course continues, I'm realizing more and more ways to make math fun and applicable to "real life"
