Concrete Algebra: Pattern Builders

Activity Overview

In this series of activities, students are presented with the same pattern of matchsticks built in different ways - and each has a different algebraic form. A graduated help facility is offered, allowing students to choose the level of help they need to answer the questions about each pattern, and to build these using algebraic form and table of values.
