What this lesson shows
Fixes a mistake
3, 6, 9, 12: "double it" fits 3 to 6 only. Adding 3 fits every pair, so the rule is 3n.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: Start at 3, add 3. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Test the rule on the next pair
- Find what fits every pair
- Write it, and check a term
Helping at home
A rule must fit every pair of terms, not just the first two. Test any rule on the next pair before trusting it, then write it in the term number and check a term.
If your kid gets stuck
Test the rule on every pair.
Watch it with Lux
With Lux, this lesson is a narrated video and a printed page your kid works on. Then Lux helps with the same math on their own worksheet, one question at a time.
Standards
- Common Core 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.
