Increasing patterns

We have had a lot of fun building and creating increasing patterns. This kiddos wanted me to post a picture of what I let them do last Friday-DRAW ON THEIR DESK! This is normally a big taboo and most of the kiddos were very hesitant. Now they beg for increasing pattern work because they know they can use a whiteboard marker to help organize their thinking on their desk.

The best part? We cleaned up the desks so well our lovely custodian had no clue!
