Resource: Online Lesson Plans and an Interactive Website for students in Grade One. These resources are rich tasks that satisfy Specific Outcomes 1 and 2 in the Patterns and Relations sections of the Program of Studies. 1. Demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns (two or three elements) by: identifying, reproducing, extending, and creating patterns using manipulatives, sounds and actions (C, CN, PS, V). 1. Demonstrate an understadning of repeating patterns (two to four elements) by: describing, reproducing, extending and creating patterns using anipulatives, diagrams, sounds and actions. (C, PS, R,V). 1. Demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns (three to five elements) by; describing, reproducing, extending, and creating patterns using manipulatives, diagrams, sounds, and actions.
 * Strand:** Patterns and Relations

 * Type of Resource:** Children"s Story Book
 * "Shape Capers"** by Cathryn Falwell
 * Specific Outcome:** **Kindergarten**
 * Specific Oucome:** **Grade 1**
 * Specific Outcome:** **Grade 2**


 * Description:** The instructor reads the book to the students and emphasizes the shapes that are discussed in the book. The instructor provides the students with a piece of construction paper and depending upon their grade level a certain amount of pre-cut shapes that are indicated in the book, (circles, triangles, semi-circles, rectangles and squares). For example kindergarten would receive up to 3 shapes, grade 1 up to 4, and grade 2, up to 5 shapes. The students are then asked to complete a pattern on their construction paper and are asked to share it with the class using the correct mathematical vocabulary when talking about each shape. For example, "I used the yellow circle, then the blue square, followed by the green triangle." Students again depending upon grade level can be asked to switch with a partner to extend a different pattern or make several different combinations with the shapes that are provided by the instructor.

The teacher reference and interactive website give ideas of how outcomes from the Program of Studies can be achieved using rich tasks that allow for different responses, are accessible and extendable, has students make decisions, engage students in reflecting and explaining, promote discussion, and encourage creativity while being enjoyable.
