4.OA.5. Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule “”Add 3″” and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way.||Common Core Mathematics||Grade 4||Operations And Algebraic Thinking||Generate And Analyze Patterns|||5.OA.3. Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For example, given the rule “”Add 3″” and the starting number 0, and given the rule “”Add 6″” and the starting number 0, generate terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other sequence. Explain informally why this is so.||Common Core Mathematics||Grade 5||Operations And Algebraic Thinking||Analyze Patterns And Relationships
