Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
There are short-term patterns in weather systems, such as several rainy days followed by several sunny days, and long-term seasonal patterns, such as hot clear skies in the summer and colder cloudy days in the winter.
