5c And 9c Stamps
Fifth graders devise and use problem solving strategies to solve a post office math problem. They describe what it means for a sequence to carry on infinitely, identify patterns in linear combinations of numbers, and discuss the amounts...
Curated OER
Pattern Makers
Students are introduced to the notion of a repeating pattern. This is done by a number of means including the use of everyday objects. They are encouraged to create, describe and continue patterns.
Curated OER
Building Patterns Incrementally
Students study the recurrence rules for patterns where the increase from one term to the next is not constant. They look for the recurrence rule on their own. They copy the pattern and create the next element, continue the pattern with...
