On paper, students can represent patterns visually, graphically, algebraically, and verbally. These supplies will deepen students understanding by helping them analyze patterns physically. By adding a concrete representation, students will have a sturdy foundation for the abstract parts of algebra. Pattern blocks help us make sense of geometric patterns and break complex shapes into component parts. Multilink cubes let us see how patterns grow in multiple directions, which is especially helpful during our study of quadratics. Cuisenaire rods help connect color with size and has a cool application in our combinatorics unit. We use two-color counters for a variety of experiments when discussing exponential functions, probability, and counting problems.
