Algebra

We are starting a mathematics unit on number patterns. Understanding and producing patterns are important skills that help develop student's number sense and algebraic reasoning skills.

Patterns occur in nature, art, and many everyday activities. Patterns can be described using numbers, words, models, and formulas.

In this unit, students will:

• Write a pattern rule for a number pattern.
• Identify, extend, and create patterns.
• Use patterns to pose and solve problems.
• Use patterns to explore divisibility rules.
• Find the value of a missing term or factor.
• Use patterns to explore integers
