The document outlines a 5-week learning sequence on patterns for students. Week 1 focuses on number patterns, addition, subtraction and assessment. Week 2 looks at shape patterns, symmetry, and language patterns in books. Week 3 explores patterns in music, dance, and body movements. Week 4 investigates natural and built environment patterns through photography and art. Week 5 emphasizes artistic patterns and a summative assessment. The sequence aims to develop algebraic understanding, reasoning, thinking through differentiated, hands-on activities making real-life connections across subjects.
