C1.1 identify and describe repeating and growing patterns, including patterns found in real-life contexts
C1.2 create and translate repeating and growing patterns using various representations, including tables of values and graphs
C1.3 determine pattern rules and use them to extend patterns, make and justify predictions, and identify missing elements in repeating and growing patterns
C1.4 create and describe patterns to illustrate relationships among whole numbers and decimal tenths
C2.1 identify and use symbols as variables in expressions and equations
C2.2 solve equations that involve whole numbers up to 50 in various contexts, and verify solutions
C2.3 solve inequalities that involve addition and subtraction of whole numbers up to 20, and verify and graph the solutions
Equations and Inequalities Across the School Year...
🖇 Encourage connections between math concepts by:
- consolidating the idea of inverse operations (i.e., division "undoes" multiplication) as the foundation of solving equations
- referencing a toolbox of calculation strategies from previous topics as a means to solve equations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division)
- explore equations and inequalities across the grades
- making connections to experiences with number lines (graphing an inequality means showing a range of possible values on a number line)
