Lesson Plan of Geometry (Patterns with 2 or 3 elements)
Subject Mathematics
Grade 1
Students` Learning Outcomes
- Identify and describe patterns with 2 or 3 elements.
- Extend a given pattern of 2 to 3 elements.
Information for Teachers
- A pattern is a way, in which something happens, moves, develops or is arranged or an arrangement of line shapes.
- Objects are arranged in a special sequence to make a pattern.
- While teaching the lesson, the teacher should also consult textbook at all steps wherein and whenever it is applicable.
Material / Resources
Writing board, chalk/marker, cut-outs of shapes (squares, circles, triangles), printed cloth or /and wrapping paper with a design on it
Introduction
- Bring a piece of cloth or a dupata (scarf) or a wrapping paper with a design printed on it to class. Show the students how designs (such as flowers etc.) are repeated again and again to make a pattern.

- Objects are arranged in a special sequence to make a pattern.
Assessment
- Draw different patterns on the board and ask different students to extend these patterns.
- Teacher is also required to involve the students in solving the problems given in the exercise at the end of unit/chapter.
Follow up Tasks
- Ask the students to make some patterns using some other objects.(pictures of flowers, fruits, vegetables, etc.)
- Encourage students to collect dry leaves that fall from trees in autumn and to arrange them in patterns according to color (for example yellow, orange, and brown)
