Grade 3 Patterns PR I.1.3

Table Top Jr.

(Activity created by Aaron Benarroch, 
South District Support Teacher)

To Create this File:

In Table Top Jr. have students click on the dice at least 30 times.

Click on plot and Tile Up.

At this point students can be given sorting rules or they can create their own.

In this file a rule has been defined by clicking on the button that says 2 or More at the bottom of the screen.

Students drag and drop the Stick Figures into the tile up graph. The Stick Figures will only stay on the graph if 2 or more attributes are shared in any of the surrounding squares.

To increase complexity click on Other Stuff and select Hide Rule. Students must now decipher the rule so that they can make appropriate responses.

Assessment: Feedback is immediate as Stick Figures will not stay on graph if responses are not correct.
