Represent, analyse, and apply patterns using mathematical language and notation.
[C, CN, PS, R, V]
| (a) |
Describe situations from one's life, family, or community in which patterns emerge, identify assumptions made in extending the patterns, and analyze the usefulness of the pattern for making predictions. |
| (b) |
Describe, using mathematics language (e.g., one more, seven less) and symbolically (e.g., r + 1, p – 7), a pattern represented concretely or pictorially that is found in a chart. |
| (c) |
Create alternate representations, including concrete or pictorial models, charts, and mathematical expressions, for a given pattern (numeric or geometric). |
| (d) |
Predict subsequent elements (terms or values) in a pattern (with and without concrete materials or pictorial representations) and explain the reasoning including the assumptions being made. |
| (e) |
Verify whether or not a particular number belongs to a given pattern. |
| (f) |
Solve problems and make decisions based upon the mathematical analysis of a pattern and other contributing factors. |
