C1.3 determine pattern rules and use them to extend patterns, make and justify predictions, and identify missing elements in repeating, growing, and shrinking patterns
C1.4 create and describe patterns to illustrate relationships among whole numbers and decimal tenths and hundredths
C2.1 translate among words, algebraic expressions, and visual representations that describe equivalent relationships
C2.2 evaluate algebraic expressions that involve whole numbers
C2.3 solve equations that involve whole numbers up to 100 in various contexts, and verify solutions
C2.4 solve inequalities that involve one operation and whole numbers up to 50, 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)
- making connections to experiences with number lines (graphing an inequality means showing a range of possible values on a number line)
