Sandra Kaplan, a researcher in California, has identified eleven areas of depth and complexity that teachers can add to their instruction. One of these areas is Patterns. There are patterns in just about everything, but we often don't notice them. Patterns can help us make sense of things and lead us to new ideas.
Here's a simple way to help students become more aware of patterns. Print out pattern search task cards like seen in the photo and hand them to students who are ready for a challenge or have finished their work early. Ask them to share their thinking with you or with the class.
