What you can do after seeing this presentation

• Describe how elements of a pattern are related
• Describe and predict changes

4
Pattern Relationships

• The numbers or objects in a pattern can change in
  predictable ways. They can
• Grow
• Shrink
• Repeat

5
Growing Patterns

• To grow is to increase or expand
• Patterns can be described as growing
• Examples
• The shape of a plant can grow as the plant
  matures
• Numbers can increase
• Designs can expand

Learn more and get some practice, too.
6
Shrinking Patterns

• To shrink is to become smaller or more compacted
  or to lessen in value.
• Patterns can be described as shrinking
• Examples
• The height of a snow bank shrinks as spring
  approaches
• Numbers in a pattern can lessen in value
• Designs and objects can become compacted or
  smaller

Learn more and get some practice, too.
7
Repeating Patterns

• To repeat is to make appear again
• Patterns can be described as repeating
• Examples
• Numbers can repeat
• Objects and designs can repeat
• The seasons of the year repeat from one year to
  the next

Learn more and get some practice, too. Take a
deeper look into repeating patterns.

Lets Be Mathematicians

• A pattern is a set of numbers or objects that are
  generated by following a specific rule.
• A sequence is a pattern involving an ordered
  arrangement of numbers, geometric figures,
  letters, or other objects.
