4.OA.5

In this standard, students are expected to understand that there are two different types of patterns: growing and repeating.

Repeating Pattern:

1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3

Growing Pattern:

3, 8, 13, 18, 23

The starting number for this pattern is 3. The rule is add five. I notice that all the numbers end in a 3 or an 8.
