Goal: Think like a mathematician! Looking for repetition in the way you draw or build shapes, then generalize the regularity.

Back to Recognizing Repetition Tasks
Comments are closed.
We used this task for the third exposure to the routine for Recognizing Repetition. All three were done in a period of just over 2 weeks, so by this point, the meta-language and the practice itself had become more routine and familiar. I gave students the option of using tiles, as well as graph or blank white paper. Some students used the tiles, but most seemed comfortable creating a graphic representation. The meta-reflection at the end was the smoothest of the 3 exposures.
