WorksheetsWhat this unit covers
Two changing quantities are laid out in a table and their relationship is written as an expression. Starting from Constant Sum and Constant Difference, the unit follows growing figure sequences such as Connected Triangles and Sticks, relationships that double and triple as in Price Type, and Simple Percentage.
In Connected Triangles, miscounting how many sticks each new shape adds leads to setting up 3 × □. Looking at the difference between the second and third entries in the table makes clear whether the step is 2 or 3. Confusing Constant Sum with Constant Difference, and writing the sum where the difference belongs, also happens.
Line Graphs and Tables asked only for two quantities to be laid side by side and read off. From here the focus turns to the change itself, how one number moves as the other does. This way of watching a pattern gets applied in grade 5, in Patterns of Change, to arrangements as intricate as a sequence of figures.
