Patterns
Big Ideas
Mathematical relationships among numbers can be represented, compared, and communicated.
Patterns exhibit relationships that can be extended, described, and generalized.
Mathematical relations and functions can be modeled through multiple representations and analyzed to raise and answer questions.
Data can be modeled and used to make inferences.
Essential Questions
