Patterns and Relations
Strand: Patterns and Relations (Patterns and Relationships) Students will: • recognize that patterns and relationships exist in nature and everyday living • use patterns and relationships to develop a better understanding of their environments and to solve everyday problems at home, in the workplace and in the community, using technology as appropriate • assess the reasonableness of calculations and problem-solving strategies • communicate mathematically and investigate the application of patterns and relationships in a variety of career and workplace situations, working individually or as members of a team.
General Outcome Students will: use relationships to summarize, generalize and extend patterns to understand the environment and solve everyday problems.
Specific Outcomes Students will:
1. identify, describe and summarize, in spoken and written form, patterns and relationships [C, CN, R, V]
2. make predictions based on everyday patterns and use patterns to draw conclusions [CN, E, R]
3. create expressions and rules to describe, complete and extend patterns and relationships [C, CN, PS, R]

3. create expressions and rules to describe, complete and extend patterns and relationships [C, CN, PS, R]
Strand: Patterns and Relations (Variables and Equations) Students will: • represent algebraic equations in multiple ways to solve everyday problems, using technology as appropriate • communicate mathematically and investigate the application of variables and equations in a variety of career and workplace situations, working individually or as members of a team.
General Outcome Students will: use informal and concrete representations of equality and operations to solve problems in everyday contexts.
Specific Outcomes Students will: 4. demonstrate and explain how to solve simple problems, using informal algebraic methods [C, CN, PS, R, V] 5. read and graph relationships and draw conclusions in everyday contexts [CN, R, V]
