Classmates wrote these comments in thier math journals:
1. We have 10 patches so far.
2. We have 3 orcas, 1 fin, 4 dolphins, 4 humpbacks and 2 gray whales so far.
3. We have a number pattern by rows of [1234][4321] so far.
4. We have 2 diagonals. The first diagonal is the 2nd patch in the 1st row and with the 3rd patch in the 2nd row. The second diagonal is the 3rd patch in the 1st row and the 2nd patch in the 2nd row.
5. We have a whale name pattern by rows of [ofdh][odgg][ho…] so far.
6. We have a prediction that the next patch will be a fin whale because then there will be 2 fin whales and we will have at least 2 of each patch.
We have a prediction that the next patch will be a dolphin because it will follow the pattern of dark light.
