Repeating Patterns

A Repeat Look At Repeating Patterns is an article all about patterns and how it is of the utmost importance to work with patterns with students because it will be very beneficial to them as their mathematical skills and ideas develop throughout school. There is an idea that you need to bridge the standards for the students for ultimate success. Some of the content that will help develop content standards learned later are, extending, identifying, debugging, finding the missing values, recognizing the commonalities, able to find the missing values, and create growing patterns. These are key components in bridging success because it builds a foundation for being able to store and process several pieces of information. A Repeat Look At Repeating Patterns also talks about the defining what a repeating pattern is and different Elementary strategies that will be useful throughout their entire ‘Mathematical career’. It begins to talk about candy and the pattern Paige enjoys eating her candy and what would the color of the 84th color be, and how there are multiple ways to solve is
The formula we learned in class is y=mx+b compared to the formula in the article is p=6a+5. Another way this is relevant to our class is by finding different ways to get to the end result of a problem. I think it is important to allow students to use different ways to come to the end result of the problem, this way they can fully comprehend what they are doing and have better retention when the need to complete the problem on their own for homework or different assessments. This was a great read that I would recommend to any Elementary
