Fawn Nguyen LOVES teaching with visual patterns - and, after hearing why, you will too. She shares hundreds of them on her website, visualpatterns.org for FREE! As an experienced educator and veteran middle school teacher, she’s spent years finely honing the craft of using this warm up routine to help students make sense of math. In this episode, Fawn explains how there’s so much more to patterns than input-output tables, including seeing structure, algebraic thinking, and the opportunity to engage in mathematical modeling.  Students receive rich benefits when teachers incorporate them in math lessons all year long - not just in the functions, expressions, and equations unit. Listen in to hear how you can get started with visual patterns right away!
