Lesson 10

Interpret Relationships

Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is for students to generate patterns based on two given rules and then identify and explain more complex relationships.

Lesson Narrative

In this lesson students continue to generate two patterns and observe relationships between their corresponding terms. Most of the relationships are more complex in this lesson, involving either multiplication by a fractional amount or both multiplication and addition or subtraction. Students begin to express the relationships between patterns using equations (MP2).
