QCC Standard Strand: Visual Arts
6 Topic: Connections
Standard: Applies and compares the concepts of pattern for other disciplines, such as pattern in music, dance, mathematics, and poetry.
Georgia Performance Standards: Math
M1N1. Students will estimate, model, compare, order, and represent whole numbers up to 100.
a. Represent numbers less than 100 using a variety of models, diagrams, and number sentences. Represent numbers larger than 10 in terms of tens and ones using counters and pictures.
b. Correctly count and represent the number of objects in a set using numerals.
d. Understand the magnitude and order of numbers up to 100 by making ordered sequences and representing them on a number line.
Motivation: To give the students a creative and unique way to learn how to count to 100 and create patterns.
Vocabulary:
-circle -square -triangle -red -blue -yellow -green
Instructional Strategies: As a class we will create a caterpillar together and as a class use it to count to 100.
Modifications: The teacher will assist students with special needs in cutting, gluing, and drawing their caterpillar. The teacher will also have pre-cut shapes if needed.
Assessment: Each student will share their pattern by identifying the colors and shapes of their caterpillar and count to 100 by tens.
Materials/Supplies:
markers, scissors, glue, red, blue, yellow, and green construction paper
Resources: N/A
Closing Statement: Now that we all have our caterpillars made, we can all go home and practice skip counting by tens to 100.
