Math Test for Patterning Unit on Monday

As most of you may have noticed in the agenda, we have a math test coming up on Monday, October, 6th. This will be on Patterning. Please review the textbook lessons with your child each night to prepare them for this. There will be questions asking students to continue patterns, such as 2, 3, 5, 8, 12... Where they will have to give the next terms, as well as identify the pattern rule. They will also be asked to identify the missing terms in a pattern, such as 42, 38, ___, 30, 26, ____, 18. They will need to identify and continue patterns in tables, as well as create their own tables based on patterns of numbers or attributes of shapes. They will also need to be able to solve word problems that involve patterns. It would be a good idea to review each lesson in the text, and the "Show What You Know" on pages 22-23 of the textbook would be a good practice for the test.
