Grade 6 Math Quiz-Patterning

Tomorrow the grade 6s will finally have their math quiz. They have been studying at school and most of them have taken their notebooks and duotangs home to study. For our quiz, they need to demonstrate the following:

• create a table of values for growing patterns, given pattern rules in words (ex.start with 3, then double each term and add 1 to get to the next term). 
• determine the term number of a given term in a growing pattern that is represented by a pattern rule, in words or table value.
• describe pattern rules that generate patterns by adding or subtracting a constant, or multiplying or dividing by a constant, to get to the next term (Ex. for 1, 3, 5, 7, 9..., the pattern rule is "start with 1 and add 2 to each term to get to the next term).
• determine a term, given its term number, by extending growing and shrinking patterns that are generated by adding or subtracting a constant, or multiplying or dividing by a constant, to get to the next term.

Here are some of the anchor charts posted in our room.
