    Subject: Math

    Lesson Length: 30 - 40 mins

    Topic: Operations and Algebraic Thinking; Analyze Patterns and Relationships of Ordered Pairs

    Grade Level: 5

    Standards / Framework:

    Brief Description: Students will create a numerical pattern using a given rule and apply to generate ordered pairs. Students will explain the relationship between the numbers.

    Know Before You Start: This lesson would be useful after an introduction to numerical patterns and ordered pairs.

    Hook:

    • Read and discuss the sample comic.
      • What rule is Professor McBean’s machine following? 
      • Use the table linked in the Resources section to show the ordered pairs depicted in the comic.

    Activity:

    • Students will discuss and explain the relationship between the x and y in an ordered pair.

    • Students can practice generating ordered pairs using two given rules, e.g., starting with 0, add 4 and starting with 0, add 6.

    • Using the sample comic and the table as a guide, students will depict three ordered pairs in a comic. Have students explain the relationship between the numbers in the final panel.

    • Have students create their own comic with a different numerical pattern.

    Closure:

    • Have students work in pairs to check their work.

    Differentiation:

    • Allow students to use the speech-to-text feature.

    • Allow students to use the voiceover feature to read their comics aloud.

    • Allow students to create their comic in their home language.

    • Allow students to work with a peer model.
