Growing Patterns: Pattern Block Fish

We are exploring growing patterns. Today we worked with a partner to figure out how our pattern block fish were growing. We drew pictures, used a table, and/or used actual pattern blocks to build the fish. We really enjoyed this activity because it is never-ending! We can continue to build the pattern and find more connections and strategies to predict what the fish will look like at any stage.

We know it's important that mathematicians share their thinking so after we investigated the problem, we made recordings on Seesaw. We explained what we noticed, what stayed the same, and what changed. These are just some of the many realizations, connections, and explanations submitted.
