Patterns are a first step to learning how to apply universal rules in math. Students use patterns as a foundation for In/Out boxes, applying rules, and learning and using functions. This resource includes a simple introduction to patterns, then explains how to identify them with letters. Then students apply their knowledge with the included activity! This resource includes: 260-word article that introduces mathematical patterns, introduces letter identifiers for patterns, and explains how to ide

Use this sheet to reinforce concepts of pattern with larger numbers that require a calculator. It's a great way for students to see how quickly numbers become greater or less with just a few operations. Designed for units that cover algebraic thinking, patterns, input and output boxes, and even calculator skills.
