Describing Rules & Patterns

描述规则与规律

Description

When you notice a pattern repeating, describe it as a rule that works every time — then test whether the rule holds in new cases

Mastery Evidence
  • 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
Assessment Prompt

If your child 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?
