Activity 1:

Ask students to raise their hand if they can give a

brief summary of what we learned yesterday
Explain that we will be reviewing how to write
pattern rule so we dont forget how to do that
correctly.
Write on the board the expression h+3 and write
the pattern rule: Add three to the previous element
Right the expression rx5 and write the pattern rule:
Multiply the previous element by three
Explain that adding and subtracting questions are
written the same and multiplying and dividing
questions are written the same
Explain we will be playing quiz quiz trade
Write the instructions on the board:
When I say go , stand up and raise your hand. Find
the person closest to you
Each take a turn quizzing each other on the cards
you have.
Your job is to coach, or to help them through the
question
Make sure they say is 100% correctly.
Once they get it, make sure you praise them, give
a high five, say good job
Then quiz again.then trade cards, put your hand
up and look for the next person to quiz.
Ask Luke or the room helper to hand out the quiz

(How will you
know if
students
learned what
you hoped?
