Students use place value rods in this practical task to build up square patterns. Students then predict the number needed for the next pattern and explain their rule.
Students complete a table showing the number of matchsticks used in a spatial pattern, identify the number of matchsticks required for a given shape, and describe the rule for the pattern.
Students identify and continue the number pattern for a stack of cans and complete a graph to demonstrate the relationship between two sets of numbers.
The start of spatial matchstick patterns are shown and described in tables. Students complete the tables and show the rules in either words or equations.
Students complete a table showing the number of matchsticks used to build a series of pentagons. They identify the number of matchsticks required for a given pentagon and state the rule as an word equation.
In this task students build the next two models of a spatial sequential pattern and then use their results to predict subsequent patterns and give general rules for these in words and in equations.
Students complete a table showing times to boil different quantities of water. They identify the rule that relates the amount of water to boiling time and use it to answer questions.
Students complete a table showing pattern sizes and children's chest measurements. They answer two questions interpreting the pattern, and state the rule as a word equation.
Students interpret information from a flowchart to calculate the total costs of different sized groups staying in a motel for varying lengths. They also complete a linear algebraic equation to show the costs of one group's stay.
