Numberical Patterns Worksheet

About the Numerical Patterns Worksheet

Numerical Patterns introduces students to the fundamental concepts of pattern recognition, sequence generation, and coordinate graphing through a structured approach. This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Numerical Patterns guides students through the process of generating two different numerical patterns using specific rules, creating ordered pairs, and visualizing these relationships on a coordinate plane. Students begin by following clear instructions to generate terms in two separate sequences - one using addition and another using multiplication.

The worksheet is organized into four main sections that build upon each other: pattern generation, ordered pair formation, coordinate graphing, and visual analysis. Students start by applying the rules "Add 4" and "Multiply by 2" to create two distinct numerical sequences from a common starting point. They then learn to combine corresponding terms into ordered pairs, developing their understanding of how two related patterns can be represented as points on a coordinate plane. The final task involves plotting these points and connecting them to observe the emerging visual pattern, helping students grasp the relationship between numerical sequences and their graphical representations.

Common Core Standards Covered

5.OA.A.2

Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation "add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2" as 2 _ (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 _ (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.

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.
