⭐️ Essential Key Concept ⭐️
C1.1 identify and describe repeating, growing, and shrinking patterns, including patterns found in real-life contexts, and specify which growing patterns are linear
C1.2 create and translate repeating, growing, and shrinking patterns using various representations, including tables of values, graphs, and, for linear growing patterns, algebraic expressions and equations
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, and use algebraic representations of the pattern rules to solve for unknown values in linear growing patterns
C1.4 create and describe patterns to illustrate relationships among whole numbers and decimal numbers
During this topic, pay attention to the students' ability to recognize sources of stress and cope with challenges.
How do students respond to challenges (e.g. jump right in, wait for assistance, use a strategy like model the problem...etc.)
Can students describe the self-talk they use to refocus? (“I tell myself to slow down.” “I stop and take a breath.”)
Do students persevere?
