Patterning

We have finished our first unit in Number Sense and Numeration, and are now moving on to our Patterning unit. We will be looking at number patterns, and how to develop strategies that allow us to find the value of different term numbers in our patterns through the use of pattern rules and graphs.  If you go here: http://husky67.pbworks.com/Patterning you will find examples and a glossary that explains the meaning of some of the stranger math words like "recursive" and "explicit" pattern rules.  If you are looking for some extra practice, you can try the Nelson website's unit on patterning, which we will be following for most of the unit: http://www.nelsonk8math.com/math6/studentcentre/studentcentre.html.  The Surf for More Math section provides online math games related to the subject, and the Try It Out section has multiple choice practice question related to various lessons from the unit.  You are looking for the Chapter 1: Patterns in Mathematics part of the Nelson site.
