Describing Rules & Patterns
Learning to Learn · Learning to Learn · meta
When you notice a pattern repeating, describe it as a rule that works every time — then test whether the rule holds in new cases
What mastery looks like
- Describe a pattern or rule they've noticed in their own words — e.g. 'Every time you add 0 to a number, it stays the same'
- Test whether a rule they've described holds for new examples they haven't seen before
- Explain the difference between noticing a pattern and proving it always works
Check your understanding
If Describing Rules & Patterns spots a pattern — like a grammar rule or a number pattern — can they describe it as a general rule and then check whether it works in new examples?
