Song: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
Element to Teach: Math/Patterns
Grade: K - 1
Concept:
The students will understand patterns after singing
the song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and looking
at the repeating notes (or words). They will then arrange
colored stars in a pattern to create their own pattern
with stars.
Objectives:
The students will:
1. Sing the song, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little
Star" and identify the pattern of notes (or words) in the
first line and in the third line.
2. use the colored stars to show the pattern of measures
in the first and third lines.
3. create their own pattern by using the different
colors of stars.
Materials:
Printouts or large poster of words and notes from,
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
Colored stars (at least 3 colors, about 3 inches
large)
Extra large colored stars (8 colors - 4 of the
colors should have a double)
Preliminary Procedure:
Students will sing the song. They should look at
the notes and think about words to see if there is
repetition in the song.
Procedure:
1. Ask students, "What is a pattern?"
2. Ask students, "Where could you find a pattern
in the song?" For example, the first and third lines have
the same notes in the same order.
3. Have students show the pattern by placing colored
stars over the measure. Tell the class, "If the notes in
the measure are new or original, they get a new color for their
star. If the notes and words have been seen in the song before,
they get the same color star as the measure that is the same."
In the song, the different colored stars repeat (make a pattern)
in the first and third lines. Choose students to make a star pattern
on the floor. When an appropriate number of stars have been placed
(depending on the level of the class), have the class continue
the pattern.
Closure:
1. Have students sing the song, "Rain, Rain,
Go Away" .
2. The class should identify the patterns in the
song. For example, there are four measures, and then each measure
is repeated (in order) which makes a pattern.
3. Students are to create their own pattern using
different colors of circles, squares, etc. on their own paper.
Evaluation:
During the lesson, the teacher will observe student
participation. She will also look at the individual
patterns to see if each child understands the concept
of patterns.
Follow - up:
The teacher will ask, "Where else can we find
patterns?" Students will practice finding patterns in songs,
the room, their clothes, etc.
