==Process (How to do the activity)==
Ask children to make the letter "Z" from sticks. Each group to make as many Z as possible within 5 minutes.
==Developmental Questions (What discussion questions)==
==Developmental Questions (What discussion questions)==
#How many sticks were needed for 1 "Z"?
#How many sticks were needed for 2 "Z"?
#How many sticks were needed for n "Z"?
#Children have you noticed any relationship between the number of "Z"s formed and the number of sticks used to form the letter "Z"?
#Outcome: 3n sticks are required to form "Z" n-times. Children observe the variation in number of sticks when number of "z"s is increased /decreased.
#The discussion has ended up with children generalizing the pattern they observed.
#The number of matchstick depended on what?
#Outcome: The number of matchstick is a variable and will depend on number of "Z"
