Grade 5 Mathematics - Patterns and Relationships
Explore the Patterns and Relationships strand of the Grade 5 Mathematics curriculum. Develop algebraic thinking through pattern analysis and coordinate graphing.
Grade Five Expectations for Patterns and Relationships
Essential Learning Outcome 1: Numerical Patterns
- 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
- Analyze patterns and relationships in number sequences
