Patterning and Algebra Unit

Students in 3C will be starting a new math unit early next week for Patterning and Algebra.  

Students will be exploring the following expectations:

- identifying and describing number patterns involving addition and subtraction on a number line, hundred chart, and calendar.

- extending repeating, growing and shrinking number patterns.

- creating a number pattern involving addition or subtraction, given a pattern represented on a number line or a pattern rule expressed in words.

-representing simple geometric patterns using a number sequence, a number line, or a bar graph.

Ideas to support learning at home:

- identify patterns in the environment both natural and man-made.

- play games in which you clap a pattern and the child continues the clapping pattern.

- use toys to sort and create patterns.
