Week 9 reflection

This week I continued to teach patterns to my students. We completed many different hands on activities including making pattern bracelets, making pattern border pictures, extending pattern blocks, etc. The students seemed to enjoy the activities.

However, after two weeks I still have two students who have no idea what a pattern is. I keep wondering: "How can I help these students even more then I already am?" I've worked with them one-on-one when other students were working on their patterns to help guide them and teach them exactly what patterns are but that doesn't seem to help. I have put them into groups with other students who understand patterns thinking that maybe that would help them, but it doesn't work either.

I am hoping that the activities that I have planned for this week will help them increase their understandings.
