When I created this hands-on manipulative activity for a micro-teach session I didn't expect that I would use the lesson twice more in my practicum classroom. I've also provide the lesson to two other teachers and discussed it with even more. I have also begun teaching the same Math I classes further lessons on sequences and patterns. What I enjoy about these patterns and sequences lessons is that you can almost see the student's thoughts happening. It is so exciting when students come up with valid patterns that apply to a sequence that I have never noticed. Some students look so much more deeply into a pattern than I do - they are teaching me too. One lesson in particular that I have learned is to listen to every student's idea - you might just be taught a new way of interpreting your own lesson.
