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
C2.1 add monomials with a degree of 1 that involve whole numbers, using tools
C2.3 solve equations that involve multiple terms and whole numbers in various contexts, and verify solutions
C2.4 solve inequalities that involve two operations and whole numbers up to 100, 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, including decimal tenths)
- making connections to experiences with number lines (graphing an inequality means showing a range of possible values on a number line)
- connect work with monomials to work with other mathematical "units" - we can't add or combine "unlike terms" (i.e., mm and cm, different fractional denominators, etc.)
