Introduction

(10 minutes)

Have students come together as a group.
To motivate the students, begin by saying that "Today, we will be learning about patterns. Look around the room. Can anyone identify a pattern?"
If no one knows what a pattern is, then make a simple pattern on the whiteboard, e.g. circle, triangle, circle, triangle, circle, triangle.
Alternate differently colored markers to make the pattern more easily identifiable.
Inform the students that this is a pattern of circles and triangles.
