Unit Overview |
|---|
Content Focus –Students work to develop ideas about patterns, sequences and functions. They will build on this understanding throughout elementary school as part of their early algebra foundation. |
Looking Back…In Kindergarten, students worked with repeating patterns using color and/or shapes and described ‘what comes next’ in these shapes. Students have encountered count by 2s and will use that knowledge in this unit. |
Looking Forward…In 2nd grade and beyond, students will expand on their knowledge of pattern and function in many ways. They will apply their understanding as they explore other count-bys, and ultimately move into multiplication. Most importantly, they continue to explore the idea of how to develop a rule to explain how one quantity changes in relation to another. Students will use various tools (tables, graphs, charts) to represent these relationships. |
