About this activity

A 3D toy-block workshop on a sunny windowsill. Students build the next or missing stage of growing block patterns, find each pattern rule (the start number and the jump), use the rule to predict stage 10 or stage 25 without building it, and tell patterns that add the same amount each time from patterns whose jump changes.

What students learn

  • Identify and extend growing patterns made of blocks, including building a missing stage (C1.1)
  • Determine a pattern rule (the start number and how many blocks each stage adds) from the change between stages (C1.3)
  • Use a pattern rule to predict a far stage and to find which stage has a given number of blocks (C1.3)
  • Tell whether a growing pattern adds the same amount each time (a linear pattern) or not (C1.1)
