Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
https://multiplicitylab.northwestern.edu/project/ltt_di-020-patterns/ This activity is from Jo Boaler, Jen Munson and Cathy William’s book Mindset Mathematics (Grade 1) https://books.google.com/books/about/Mindset_Mathematics_Visualizing_and_Inve.html?id=LjAhEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&gboemv=1 and from the website youcubed.org. Extend: Project on screen and have students show and explain/convince classmates of their reasoning. Ask students to take photos around the school and nature and share/use for future lessons. Ask parents to join in and ask them to take photos and share collections of items for students. Print and leave these out in a center. See youcubed.org and https://multiplicitylab.northwestern.edu/ for more ideas.
