This document provides examples to illustrate the concept of patterns. It uses examples like the days of the week, seasons, and typical daily routines to show how things are organized in a repeating order or structure. It also gives classroom and block sorting activities as examples of patterns in real world tasks where students follow a predictable order. The document defines a pattern as a regular form or way in which something happens or is done.
