Analyzing Patterns- Example Problem
Sidewalk Patterns
Answers:
Standard
5.OA.B.3. Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 0, and given the rule “Add 6” and the starting number 0, generate terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other sequence. Explain informally why this is so.

Het Hannah love it! The visuals are amazing and very clear! I love the way you gave us the problem and then shown us the answers. Although I do not have plans to teach after kindergarten this is amazing! Thank you for this post.
ReplyDeleteI love this too, Hannah! I really like the way the problem is framed (sidewalk patterns). I think that is a fun way in for students. If the teacher could, it would be fun to have the students go and actually write this out on the sidewalk/playground (or paper on the floor maybe). I also see this being a good base for finding the least common multiple.
