Big Idea

Today, we will explore how numbers change to form beautiful number patterns.

Lesson Takeaways

Mathematical:

1. Visualising arithmetic progressions, geometric progressions and fibonacci sequences.
2. Utilising recursion.

Computationally:

1. label
2. wait
3. def

Intro Questions

1. What are some patterns you see in real life? (get 5 examples from students)
   1. e.g the weather
2. How have patterns helped you before?
   1. e.g plan an outdoor soccer game

Activity 1: Hello Recursion

We are going to start with a simple demonstration.

Pick a student and give them this set of instructions:

Instructions v1: Every time you heard the word “hello”, raise your hand.

Now go ahead and say “hello” to test this out.
