Objective
Students will use the patterns they find in the first few steps to predict a step much further along.
Inspired by the website Visual Patterns.
Steps
- Students begin by just counting and making a prediction for step 6 in the pattern.
- After revealing the answer (it's 48), students will make a prediction for step 12.
- I reveal that step 12 has 168 squares and then challenge students to predict much larger steps. Answers – Step 49: 2,499 – Step 99: 9,999 – Step 999: 999,999
