In This Unit of Study…

Students generate, describe, and extend a numerical pattern that follows a given rule. They identify features within the resulting sequence and explain why the pattern repeats. Students reason about how patterns and rules are related: A pattern is the repeating sequence, and the rule dictates the process for how the sequence is repeated. Students generalize about the features and relationships between numbers of a pattern. The process of identifying and generating patterns results in being able to justify a resulting sequence by relating the pattern to its corresponding rule.
