Modelling Patterns

Happy Monday, Grade 5s!

Today we looked at growing shape patterns. The example we had on the board was the growing triangle figure. We saw that as the number of triangles in the figure grew (each time by adding 1 triangle), the perimeter (the distance around an object) grew by 1 each time as well.

Remember how to write your pattern rules. If I was writing one for our triangle example, I would write the pattern rule for finding perimeter like this:

Start at 3. Add one each time.

Good luck!

  2. Hi Nicholas,

    On Monday, we'll be reviewing 2-digit multiplication, and begin long division.

    Woo hoo! Long division is fun...I promise :)

    Enjoy your weekend,

    Ms. Lewis.
