Mathematics Success Level D T399 [HOMEWORK] (5 minutes) Take time to go over the homework from the previous night. [LESSON] (60 minutes M, GP, I, IP, WG, CP) SOLVE Problem (3 minutes M, WG) T423, S136 (Answers on T424.) Have students turn to S136 in their books, and place T423 on the overhead. The first problem is a SOLVE problem. You are only going to complete the S step with students at this point. Tell students that during the lesson they will learn about numeric patterns. They will use this knowledge to complete this SOLVE problem at the end of the lesson. {SOLVE, Graphic Organizer} Numeric Patterns Concrete (3 minutes M, WG) 3 minutes M, WG: Use the following activities to introduce students to numeric patterns {Verbal Description, Concrete Representation} MODELING Numeric Patterns Concrete Step 1: Begin with the first student in the room and ask students to skip count by 2 s beginning with 2 until all students have had a turn. This will create a numeric pattern, or a pattern with numbers. Ask students the following questions. What did the group just do? (skip counted by 2 s around the room) Was there a pattern? (Yes, skipped every other number, skip counted by 2 s, etc.) How many students had a chance to respond? (Answers will vary.) How long was the list of numbers? (The same amount as the number of students.) What was the first number? (2) The second number or term? (4) Step 2: Begin with the first student again and ask students to skip count by 5 s, starting with 5, until 100 is reached. This will create a different numeric pattern from Step 1. Ask students the following questions. What did the group just do? (skip counted by 5 s around the room) Was there a pattern? (Yes.) How did it differ from the first pattern? (skip counted by 5 s rather than 2 s) How many students had a chance to respond? (20) How long was the list of numbers? (20 responses or to 100) What was the first number? (5) The second number or term? (10)

How can we extend to the 6th term? (Use the rule multiply by 3 and multiply the 5th term by 3 to get a product of 729.) Record the term. Step 3: Direct students attention to Problem 2. Partner A, identify how many spaces are needed to complete the pattern. (2) Partner B, identify how many terms have been provided. (4) Partner A, explain the rule that was used from the first to the second term. (divide by 2, or subtract 64) Partner B, explain which of these rules will work from the 2nd term to the 3rd term. (divide by 2) Will the rule subtract 64 work from the 2nd term to the 3rd term? (No.) Will the rule divide by 2 work from the 3rd term to the 4th term? (Yes.) Record the rule. If we use the rule divide by 2 and divide the 4th term by 2, what is the 5th term? (8) Record. If we use the rule divide by 2 and divide the 5th term by 2, what is the 6th term? (4) Record.

(Yes.) Partner A, explain the rule for the pattern? (Multiply by 2.) Look at the card pattern. Is the fifth term 32? (No, there is a space.) Partner B, explain what happened? (There is a missing term.) If the term 16 were added, would the last term be correct in the pattern sequence? Why? (Yes, because 16 multiplied by 2 is 32.) Add the card with the missing term. 1 2 4 8 16 32
Mathematics Success Level D T407 Record the pattern sequence, including the missing term. Circle the missing term. Deck Pattern Teacher Deck 2: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, Step 2: Display Teacher Card Deck 3, leaving out the 12. Do not leave a space for the 12. Ask students the following questions. Partner A, explain the rule for the first two terms. (Either add 3 or multiply by 2.) Partner B, explain the rule for the second and third terms. (Add 3.) Partner A, explain the rule for the pattern. (Add 3.) Partner B, explain what the fourth term should be according to the sequence of the terms. (12) Look at the card pattern. Is the fourth term 12? (No, it is 15.) What do you think happened? (A term is missing.) Step 3: Direct students attention to the last two terms, 15 and 18. Partner A, explain how the rule add 3 applies? (15 + 3 = 18) Partner B, determine what term is missing from the pattern sequence. (12) Add the card with the missing term. Partner A, what do you notice about the 1st, 3rd, and 5th terms? (3, 9 and 15 are odd numbers.) Partner B, what do you notice about the 2nd, 4th, and 6th terms? (6, 12, and 18 are even numbers.) What can you conclude from this? (When you add two odd numbers, the sum is even; when you add an even number and an odd number, the sum is odd.) Record the sequence, including the missing term. Circle the missing term. Deck Pattern Teacher Deck 2: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, Teacher Deck 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18

If this set of cards shows the number of terms in the pattern sequence, how many terms will be in the sequence? (6) What must we know before creating a pattern? (the rule) Partner A, if we use the rule multiply by 2 and begin the pattern with the term 5, what is the first term? (5) Partner B, determine the second term. (10) What are the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth terms? (20, 40, 80, 160) Do we have any missing terms in the pattern? (No.) If I remove the 80, can we determine the missing term? How? (Yes, we use the rule multiply by 2 and compare the terms.) 3 minutes IP, CP: Distribute 6 blank index cards to each group. Have students work with their groups to put the student cards in a numerical sequence, establish a rule, and determine the missing term. Then, have students create a pattern using the blank set of cards and share with another group, having students remove one card to find the missing term and then recording the correct sequence. Monitor closely to make sure students are using the appropriate vocabulary. {Verbal Representation, Concrete Representation, Graphic Organizer} 2 minutes WG: Have students come back together as a class and share their results.
