Journal
• Ask students to respond to the following prompt:
Sue filled bags with marbles. She placed two marbles in the first bag,
four marbles in the second bag, six marbles in the third bag,
eight marbles in the fourth bag and twelve in the fifth bag.
Her friend Lisa noticed an error in the pattern. Can you identify and 
describe the error?
(5PR1.6)
Interview
• 
Ask students to explain whether 127 would occur in the following 
patterns: 
4, 8, 12, 16…….
1, 3, 5, 7……….
300, 295, 290, 285……..
Students will show an understanding of this question by ruling out 
patterns in which 127 cannot occur. For example, 4, 8, 12, 16 (all 
even numbers) and 300, 295, 290 (all multiples of 5).

Create QR codes that take students to a list of values for 
which they may be asked to find and write a pattern rule, 
complete a pattern, determine the 10th term of a pattern,
etc.
