Lesson Breakdown
Lesson 1: Understanding Sequences
- Introduce basic color patterns and traffic light sequences (e.g. red → yellow → green).
- Practice identifying repeating or alternating sequences using sample rows.
Lesson 2: Solving the Puzzle
- Students complete the worksheets by analyzing each row of traffic lights.
- Color the missing final column of each row based on the pattern’s logic.
Lesson 3: Peer Review and Discussion
- Students pair up to compare answers and explain the logic behind their choices.
- Encourage verbal reasoning and pattern explanation.
Lesson 4: Create Your Own
- Students design their own traffic light logic puzzle using blank templates.
- Swap puzzles with classmates to solve each other’s patterns.
Assessment Criteria
- Accuracy in completing sequences
- Clarity in explaining reasoning
- Participation in pair discussion or group review
- Creativity and complexity in student-created puzzles
