Question 1

Teaching algebra concepts in the early grades requires using patterns to make connections.

1.1Mention four ways you will use to teach Grade 3 learners algebra using patterns.

To teach Grade 3 learners algebra using patterns, I would use the following four methods:

Repeating Patterns: I would introduce learners to simple repeating patterns (e.g., ABAB or
ABCABC) using objects, shapes, or colors. Once they identify the pattern, we can extend thto explore number patterns (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, …) to show how algebra represents relationshipbetween numbers.

Growing Patterns: I would use growing patterns, where numbers or objects increase in a
predictable manner (e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, …). This helps students see how patterns can be used tpredict the next step, linking this concept to algebraic thinking like finding a “rule” (e.g., add each time).
