Patterns in Numbers
This is a pretty quick unit for our little ones, but it is a very important one. Identifying and creating patterns is the main goal of this unit.
Students will need to:
-identify and state what a pattern rule is. A pattern rule describes a number pattern and can be used to extend it (i.e. Start at 5. Add 3 each time).
-identify and create growing patterns. A growing pattern is a pattern that grows in number from one frame for the next. In EQAO booklets, a frame is sometimes called a TERM. The words are interchangeable, this only refers to the segment of the pattern.
-using a table as a tool to solve problems is something we have done in class this year. In this unit, students should be able to use a table to identify and keep track of patterns.
-students should be able to identify attributes and the pattern core of repeating patterns. (i.e. large red circle, small blue circle, large red circle, small blue circle...the pattern core is large red circle, small blue circle. This is the smallest segment that repeats. The attributes that are changing are size and colour.
-students should also be able to do the same for patterns with three attributes.
