Identify and extend growing shape patterns.
The core standards covered in this lesson
4.OA.C.5 — Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule "Add 3" and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way.
The foundational standards covered in this lesson
3.OA.D.9 — Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table or multiplication table), and explain them using properties of operations. For example, observe that 4 times a number is always even, and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends.

Act 2: Use the following information to determine what Stages 4 and 5 will look like -
Act 3: Using the image of the solution below -
a. Show or describe how you saw the pattern.
b. Find a partner who saw the pattern differently than you did. Compare and discuss your different approaches to the problem.
Act 4 (the sequel): Watch the video, "Stage 5 Series: E" -
What will Stage 4 and Stage 5 look like?

A task that represents the peak thinking of the lesson - mastery will indicate whether or not objective was achieved
Claudia shades squares to create the pattern of X shapes below.
Claudia shaded 5 squares to make the first X. She then shaded 4 more squares each time she makes a new X in her pattern.
a. Shade squares on the grid below to make the fourth X in the pattern.
b. How many squares will Claudia shade to make the seventh X in her pattern? Show or explain how you know.
c. Will there be any X in Claudia’s pattern that has exactly 40 shaded squares? Show or explain how you know.
The Extra Practice Problems can be used as additional practice for homework, during an intervention block, etc. Daily Word Problems and Fluency Activities are aligned to the content of the unit but not necessarily to the lesson objective, therefore feel free to use them anytime during your school day.
