Patterns and Algebra

As part of learning about algebra, students created their own patterns and then worked towards finding the rule (equation) that would allow someone to build a larger step of the pattern.

While students were given the choice of drawing or building (for example with lego) their pattern, Minecraft proved very popular.

Below are some samples of the patterns they created.
