[5 marks] ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Draw the pattern you identified. 2.2 Learners are surrounded by patterns. They encounter patterns and sequences in people’s behaviour, the days of the week, the months of the year, weather cycles, music, art, stories and their environment. They can see repeating patterns of shapes, colours and lines everywhere they look. Identify and describe patterns in your environment and describe the rule of each pattern. Provide examples of patterns in each of the following categories [10 marks] Categories Item/ activity identified Description o f i d e n t i f i e d p a t t e r n and illustration/picture/ photo Nature 10 Man –made objects Events Movement 2.3 There are many types of rhymes, stories and songs which contain a pattern. Identify suitable rhymes, stories and songs for grade R learners with repeating phrases to introduce learners to the concept of patterns. Identify the pattern in the song, rhyme or story. State whether it has a repeating, growing or shrinking pattern. Provide a reason for your answer. [10 marks] The following are some examples that show the idea of growing and shrinking number patterns from songs. You may choose your own song/ rhyme or poem. • This old man • One elephant went out to play • Five little buns in a baker’s shop • Ten fat sausages • Ten in the bed PRGRT03/103/0/2023 11 2.3.1 Use the following guideline to structure your answer Words of song/ rhyme (Write down full words of a verse if the rhyme/ poem is too long) (3 marks) 2.3.2 Identify the language pattern and describe the pattern (repeating/ growing/ shrinking) (3 marks) ................................................................................................................................................. ................................................................................................................................................. ................................................................................................................................................. ................................................................................................................................................. 2.3.3 Why do you think it’s a pattern?
