Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 3

MA19.3.9

Recognize and explain arithmetic patterns using properties of operations.

UP:MA19.3.9

Vocabulary

  • 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.

UP:MA19.4.5

Vocabulary

  • Generate
  • Rule
  • Pattern
  • Sequence
  • Term
  • Continue
  • Identify
  • Explicit

Knowledge

Students know:
  • Strategies for generating and recording number or shape patterns from a given rule.
  • Strategies for identifying and communicating shape and number patterns.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given a rule.
  • Analyze a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • A pattern is generated from a given rule.
  • The properties of a rule or pattern can be used to extend a pattern.
  • Some features of a given pattern are not explicit in the pattern's rule.
