Represent and connect mathematical patterns and relationships using verbal descriptions, generalizations, tables and graphs. Use representations to solve mathematical and real-world situations, in various cultures, especially in historical and contemporary Dakota and Anishinaabe communities.
Anchor Standard 5 emphasizes patterns in mathematics.
Students will create and utilize input/output rules. They will also write rules for mutliplicative patterns. Students will generate number and shape patterns.
Finally, students will solve equations with remainders or where a letter represents an unknown quantity.
Create and use input-output rules involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve problems in various contexts, using input- output tables where x and y values may not be zero.
Use words to write a rule for multiplicative patterns to solve word problems. Distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison, using a variety of strategies including, tables, drawings and algebraic equations with a symbol for the unknown number, to represent the problem.
Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given descriptive rule where x and y values may not be zero. Identify and explain informally apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself.
Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers\ using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
