This week as part of a culminating activity for patterning, I read the story "Pattern Fish" to students. Students discussed the patterns on each page of the book and identified the pattern rules. As part of a final assessment piece, students were asked to create a wax crayon drawing of an ocean scene with patterns. My students created a variety of patterns using size, colour and shape. After washing the picture with watered-down paint, students were given ipads to record their thinking using the ap "educreations." In partners, students took a photo of their painting and recorded their thinking using the ap. This activity took a short amount of time and by having students share their thinking orally, it allowed me to really understand their patterns and thought process. Unfortunately, I did not save the educreations correctly (did private rather than public) so I am not able to share a sample. Next time...
