Standard(s):
2. Algebra and Functions
The highlighted evidence outcomes are the priority for all students, serving as the essential concepts and skills. It is recommended that the remaining evidence outcomes listed be addressed as time allows, representing the full breadth of the curriculum.
Students Can (Evidence Outcomes):
4.OA.C. Operations & Algebraic Thinking: Generate and analyze patterns.
Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way. (CCSS: 4.OA.C.5)
Explore and generate sequences of numbers or shapes that can be described mathematically. (Entrepreneurial Skills: Creativity/Innovation)
Notice when calculations are repeated and describe patterns in generalized, mathematical ways. (MP8)
Inquiry Questions
If you were given a rule to add 4 to a starting number then to each number that follows, can you generate a sequence of odd numbers? How?
Coherence Connections
This expectation is in addition to the major work of the grade.
In Grade 3, students solve problems involving the four operations and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic.
In Grade 5, students analyze pairs of patterns created from two given rules and describe and graph the corresponding relationships.
Academic Vocabulary & Language Expectations:
