ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Virtual Elementary School Grade 1 Math: Creating a Pattern (Part 2 of 2)
Let’s have some fun with flowers! We are going to make a special pattern in the garden using different flowers. Are you ready to help?
First, we need to pick some flowers. We have three kinds of flowers: orange marigolds, purple daisies, and white petunias. Each flower will have a special letter to help us remember the pattern.
Now, let’s make our pattern! The rule for our pattern is A-B-B-C. This means:
So, our pattern looks like this: orange, purple, purple, white.
Once we have our pattern, we can repeat it again and again until all the flowers are used. Let’s see if it works:
Yay! Our pattern is complete, and it follows the A-B-B-C rule perfectly!
Thanks for your help! Now we can start planting our beautiful flower pattern in the garden. It’s going to look amazing!
Flower Pattern Hunt: Go on a walk in your garden or a nearby park with a grown-up. Look for flowers and try to create your own pattern using the flowers you find. Can you make a pattern like A-B-B-C using different flowers? Draw your pattern in a notebook and share it with your friends or family.
Pattern Craft: Use colored paper or crayons to create a flower pattern on paper. Cut out or draw flowers in orange, purple, and white. Arrange them on a piece of paper following the A-B-B-C pattern. Can you repeat the pattern to fill the entire page? Show your artwork to someone and explain the pattern you made.
Pattern Story Time: Imagine you are a flower in the garden. Write or tell a short story about your day as an orange marigold, a purple daisy, or a white petunia. What do you see around you? How do you feel being part of the A-B-B-C pattern? Share your story with your class or family.
Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
“I want to create an ABC pattern in my garden using these flowers. Can you help? Let’s start with an orange marigold; this will represent ‘A.’ Then let’s use a purple daisy to represent ‘B.’ The rule is A-B-B-C, so we need two purple daisies and a different flower to represent ‘C.’ I know, let’s use the white petunia. Now we have the core of the pattern. Let’s repeat it until all the flowers are used. Our pattern is complete. Does it follow the A-B-B-C rule? Orange, purple, purple, white. It does! Thanks for your help; now I can start planting.”
