IN THE CLASSROOM
Students in grades 1-4 investigate growth patterns, where some parts change and some remain the same, and represent the patterns using link cubes, tables of values, and bar graphs. They describe how the patterns grow in relation to one another (such as faster or steeper). They predict values at stages 5, 10, and 100.
Students in grades 5-8 also develop algebraic expressions (like 3N + 3 for the pattern above). Students in grades 8-9 also develop equations (like y = 3x + 3), and consider growth patterns that are not linear.
