  • Arithmetic pattern
  • Starting value
  • Addition table
  • Multiplication table
  • Consecutive
  • Term
  • Decompose

Knowledge

Students know:
  • that mathematical ideas and concepts build on patterns and recognize and identify those patterns to make sense of math, and the ability to make generalizations is the foundation for algebraic reasoning.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Identify arithmetic patterns in number sequences, in the addition table, or multiplication table.
  • Use logical reasoning and properties of numbers and operations to explain characteristics of arithmetic patterns.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • Mathematical concepts build on patterns.
  • When consecutive terms always differ by the same amount, an arithmetic pattern is formed.
  • Visual patterns can be found in the multiplication table.
