Project:

Students are doing a project over Patterns.  They need to find three patterns (can be outside, in the house, at a store, anywhere BUT the computer or math book), and then they have to write an essay over the patterns. 

paragraph one: introduction,

paragraph two: about pattern one (include what type of pattern (look on pg. 5 and 6 in book), describe the pattern, and tell its location)

paragraph three: same as paragraph two but write about pattern two

paragraph four:  same as paragraph two but write about pattern three.

paragraph five:  conclusion

Also, students need a visual to go with their paper.  On their poster, they should include pictures of their pattern with descriptions.  Pictures can be taken with a camera or hand drawn (use color pencil--make it colorful).
