We will continue our unit on Flight!
This month we are doing a unit on patterns and
equations.
Patterns occur in nature, art, and many
everyday activities. They can be described
using numbers, words, symbols and models. Equations are an important way
of stating mathematical relationships. Analysing patterns and balancing
equations
are important skills that help develop your child’s number sense and
algebraic reasoning.
In this unit, your child will:
· Find a pattern rule for a number pattern.
· Identify, extend, and create patterns.
· Describe the same pattern in many ways.
· Use patterns to solve problems.
· Create a graph to represent a number pattern.
·
Preserve the balance in an
equation by making the same change to
each side of the equation.
Patterns occur in many forms. We find
them in fabrics, price lists, growth charts,
and sports schedules. By drawing your child’s attention to the patterns that
occur
in everyday life, you can help to foster her or his mathematical thinking.
