Monster choir: making patterns
Students complete a shape pattern. By selecting different monsters to represent each of the different shapes, the student creates an equivalent sequence. They then extend this pattern to hear the whole pattern played and performed by the monster choir.

Monster choir: look and listen
Students create a pattern. The student determines the first part of the pattern, which is shown as a sequence of two or three different shapes. By listening to, and selecting different monsters, the student creates an equivalent sequence. They then use auditory memory skills to replicate the sequence to extend the pattern. Feedback is given after they have made an attempt.
