Grade 2 - Patterns and Relations

Standard 2.PR.1 - Analyze the character and picture pattern and complete the sequence.

Included Skills:

Demonstrate understanding of repeating patterns (three to five elements) by:
• describing
• representing patterns in alternate modes
• extending
• comparing
• creating patterns using manipulatives, pictures, sounds, and actions.
• Identify and describe repeating patterns found in familiar situations and justify why the descriptions are those of repeating patterns (e.g., "Every day I get up, brush my hair, wash my face, have breakfast" - this is a repeating pattern because I do the same pattern over and over again).
• Analyze a repeating pattern to identify the core of the pattern.
• Analyze a repeating pattern for its core and extend the pattern so the core appears twice more.
• Analyze an intended repeating pattern to identify possible errors.
• Create a repeating pattern and explain the reasoning.
• Predict an upcoming element in a repeating pattern and verify the prediction.
• Analyze two repeating patterns that are represented using different materials or modes (e.g., a diagram of a repeating pattern with a core of red, red, blue, blue, blue and a sound pattern with a core of buzz, buzz, snap, snap, snap) and present ways in which the patterns are related (e.g., there are two different elements in the core of each pattern, and the core pattern is element 1, element 1, element 2, element 2, element 2 in both patterns).
