Pattern investigation

WALT: We are learning to identify two variables, continue a growing pattern, and explain a rule.

Success criteria: I can name the variables, continue the pattern, describe how it grows, and use a rule that can be checked.

Garden design: Term 1 has 4 tiles, Term 2 has 7 tiles, and Term 3 has 10 tiles.

1. Name the two variables.

Variable 1: __________________________________________

Variable 2: __________________________________________

2. Complete the table.

Term number:     1      2      3      4      5

Tile number:       4      7      10      ______      ______

3. Write the growth rule in words.

The pattern grows by __________________________________________ each time.

4. Find Term 8. Show your thinking with a table, drawing, words, or a number sentence.

Create, check, and reflect

5. Create a different growing pattern with two variables.

Name your variables:

Variable 1: __________________________________________

Variable 2: __________________________________________

Show the first four terms.
