Patterns and the Coordinate Plane

Lesson 14

Math

Unit 7

5th Grade

Lesson 14 of 14

Objective


Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules, plotting the points, and identify more complex relationships between corresponding terms.

Common Core Standards


Core Standards

  • 5.OA.B.3 — Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For example, given the rule "Add 3" and the starting number 0, and given the rule "Add 6" and the starting number 0, generate terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other sequence. Explain informally why this is so.

Foundational Standards

  • 4.OA.C.5

Criteria for Success


  1. Generate two numerical patterns given their rules. 
  2. Form coordinate pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns. 
  3. Graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. 
  4. Look for and express repeated reasoning to identify more complex relationships between corresponding terms, such as fractionally multiplicative relationships (MP.8). 

Tips for Teachers


  • This lesson closely resembles Lesson 13, but instead of the two patterns being straightforward multiplicative ones in which one of the patterns is a multiple of the other, they are a bit more complex. For example, the relationship might involve addition or subtraction instead, multiplication by a non-unit fraction, or a combination of operations. See Anchor Task 1 for examples of these more complex patterns.

Problem Set

15-20 minutes


Discussion of Problem Set

  • What relationships did you notice between the two patterns in #3? Why do these relationships exist?
  • What relationships did you notice between the two patterns in #4? Why do these relationships exist?
  • How did the terms in Pattern A in #8 compare to the terms in Pattern B? Why does the difference between terms increase?
  • How did you solve #9?

Target Task

5-10 minutes


Problem 1
