Subject: Mathematics

Grade Level: 1

Objective: Create repeating patterns using images, manipulate sounds in words.

I. Before the Lesson / Pre-lesson Proper

Activating Prior Knowledge:

[Teaching Strategy:] Cooperative Learning

[Instructional Materials:] Pattern blocks, visual aids of patterns, sound cards

Engaging Activity 1 - Storytelling about patterns in nature (e.g., stripes on a zebra,


spots on a ladybug)

Engaging Activity 2 - Picture Analysis where students identify patterns in classroom


decorations

Engaging Activity 3 - Mystery Box containing objects with patterns (e.g., beads,
fabric swatches)

Learning within and across curriculum

- Within:

1) Art - Identifying and creating visual patterns using colors and shapes

2) Language - Rhyming words and their patterns in poems

3) Music - Recognizing rhythmic patterns in songs

- Across:

1) Filipino - Vocabulary related to patterns, such as "ulit" (repeat)

2) Science - Observing patterns in animal markings and plant growth

3) Physical Education - Moving in patterns during games or dances


Establishing Lesson Purpose / Intention:

Today, we will explore how to create repeating patterns using images and sounds.
Patterns are everywhere around us, and learning about them helps us understand
how to organize things and predict what comes next. By the end of this lesson, you
will be able to create your own beautiful patterns and recognize them in your
environment!

Lesson Language Practice/Unlocking of Difficulties:

Key Terms: pattern, repeat, sequence, rhythm

Key Concepts:

Concept 1 - A pattern is a sequence that repeats in a predictable way.

Concept 2 - Sounds can also form patterns, like clapping or tapping in a rhythm.

II. During the Lesson Proper

Reading the Key Idea / Stem:

Patterns are sequences of shapes, colors, or sounds that repeat in a predictable


manner.

Developing Understanding of the Key Idea / Stem:

Activity 1: “Create Your Own Pattern”


[Teaching Strategy:] Discovery Learning

Materials - Pattern blocks or colored paper

Significance - This hands-on activity enables students to explore and create their
own visual patterns.

Instructions -

1) Choose two or three colors or shapes.

2) Create a pattern using your chosen colors or shapes on your desk.

3) Share your pattern with a partner and explain how you made it.

Rubric

- Creativity of the pattern - 10 pts.

- Clarity in explanation - 5 pts.

- Collaboration with partner - 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) What colors or shapes did you use in your pattern?

2) How did you decide what would come next in your pattern?

3) Can you think of where you might see this pattern in real life?

Activity 2: “Sound Patterns”


[Teaching Strategy:] Interactive Read-Aloud

Materials - Sound cards (e.g., clapping, tapping, bell ringing)

Significance - This activity helps students discover and create sound patterns
through auditory engagement.

Instructions -

1) Listen to the sound cards presented by the teacher.

2) Repeat the sounds in the same order as a class.

3) Create your sound pattern and have your classmates repeat it.

Rubric

- Accuracy in sound replication - 10 pts.

- Creativity in making a new sound pattern - 5 pts.

- Participation in class - 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) What sounds did you hear?

2) How did you create your own unique sound pattern?

3) Why are sound patterns important in music?

Inclusive Activity 3: “Pattern Walk”


[Teaching Strategy:] Experiential Learning

Materials - None

Significance - This activity allows students to explore the environment for patterns,
making it accessible for all.

Instructions -

1) Walk around the classroom or school grounds looking for patterns in nature or
architecture.

2) Identify and describe at least three patterns you see.

3) Share your findings with the class.

Rubric

- Number of patterns identified - 10 pts.

- Ability to describe the patterns - 5 pts.

- Engagement in sharing with peers - 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) What patterns did you discover?

2) Where did you find the most interesting pattern?

3) How do these patterns help us understand our world?

Deepening Understanding of the Key Idea/Stem:

Activity: “Rhythmic Patterns”


[Teaching Strategy:] Problem-Based Learning

Materials - Drums or clapping hands

Significance - This activity deepens understanding of rhythm and patterns in music.

Instructions -

1) Create a simple rhythm pattern by clapping or using drums.

2) Invite classmates to repeat your rhythm.

3) Discuss how changing one element of the rhythm affects the overall pattern.

Rubric

- Clarity of rhythm created - 10 pts.

- Participation in repeating rhythms - 5 pts.

- Discussion engagement - 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:

1) What did you notice when you changed your rhythm?

2) How can rhythm patterns be found in songs?

3) Why do you think patterns are important in music?

III. After the Lesson / Post-lesson Proper

Making Generalizations / Abstractions:

In summary, patterns can be created with images and sounds, and they help us
make sense of our world. Understanding patterns allows us to predict what comes
next, whether in art, music, or nature. Recognizing and creating patterns enhances
our creativity and critical thinking skills.

Supporting Material 1 - "Patterns Everywhere" - A picture book showcasing various


patterns found in nature and art.

Supporting Material 2 - "Clap Your Patterns" - A fun song that encourages children to
clap along to different rhythmic patterns.

Assessment - Evaluating Learning:


[Teaching Strategy:] Think-Pair-Share

[Instructional Materials:] Worksheets with pattern creation tasks and reflection


questions.

Question 1 - What is a pattern, and can you give an example?

Question 2 - How did you create your pattern, and what did you enjoy about it?

Question 3 - Why are patterns important in our daily lives?

H.O.T.S.:

Question 1 - How would you explain the importance of patterns to someone who has
never seen one?

Answer 1 - Patterns help us organize information and predict outcomes, making


them essential in art, nature, and daily activities.

Question 2 - Can you think of a time when recognizing a pattern helped you solve a
problem?

Answer 2 - Recognizing patterns can help in math or identifying trends in behavior,


which aids in decision-making.

Question 3 - Why do you think patterns are found in art and nature?

Answer 3 - Patterns create beauty and order, helping us understand and appreciate
the world around us.

Additional Activities for Application / Remediation:

Assignment 1 - “Home Patterns”

Guiding Overview for Teacher: Ask students to find patterns at home (e.g., in
clothing, tiles, or furniture) and take pictures.

Assessment Question - What patterns did you find, and how do they make your
home look?

Assignment 2 - “Sound Pattern Journal”


Guiding Overview for Teacher: Students will keep a journal of sounds they hear
each day and create patterns based on those sounds.

Assessment Question - What were the most interesting sound patterns you
observed?
