Number Pattern Relationships

Mathematics · Algebra · procedural

Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules; identify relationships between corresponding terms; form ordered pairs and graph them on a coordinate plane

Sign in to track this

What mastery looks like

  • Generate sequences starting at 0 with rules 'add 3' and 'add 6'; observe terms in one are twice the other
  • Form ordered pairs from corresponding terms and plot them on a coordinate grid
  • Explain informally why the relationship between the two sequences holds

Check your understanding

Can Number Pattern Relationships follow two number patterns at once — for example, "add 2" and "add 4" — pair up the matching terms, and plot those pairs as points on a graph?
