      TEKS 3.5E: Real-World Relationships

      • Addition and Subtraction- Expand the Pattern

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can use and extend the addition or subtraction pattern in a table with number pairs.

        Focuses On:

        • Understanding the relationship between two values in a table
        • Determining the pattern in a table and describe the rule
        • Using the determined rule to continue or complete a pattern

        Builds On:

        2.6A:

        Model, create, and describe contextual multiplication situations in which equivalent sets of concrete objects are joined


        2.6B:

        Model, create, and describe contextual division situations in which a set of concrete objects is separated into equivalent sets

        Next Level:

        4.5B:

        Represent problems using an input-output table and numerical expressions to generate a number pattern that follows a given rule representing the relationship of the values in the resulting sequence and their position in the sequence

        Read More:

        This lesson is designed to build the foundation for input-output tables using addition and subtraction. It ensures students understand how a table of values works and the rule within a table.


        The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on identifying the missing value in a table and expanding the pattern in a table using addition and subtraction.


        In the first instructional block, students determine the rule in a table in order to find a missing value.


        The second instructional block focuses on expanding the pattern in a table by using the determined rule.


        Supported expressions and sentence frames are intentionally built throughout the lesson to scaffold student understanding.

      • Addition and Subtraction - Describe the Pattern

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can describe the addition or subtraction pattern in a table with number pairs.

        Focuses On:

        • Understanding the relationship between two values in a table
        • Looking for a growing or shrinking pattern to identify as addition or subtraction
        • Determining the pattern in a table and describe the rule

        Builds On:

        2.6A:

        Model, create, and describe contextual multiplication situations in which equivalent sets of concrete objects are joined


        2.6B:

        Model, create, and describe contextual division situations in which a set of concrete objects is separated into equivalent sets

        Next Level:

        4.5B:

        Read More:

        This lesson is designed to build the foundation for input-output tables in later grades. It ensures students understand how a table of values works and the rule within a table.


        The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on identifying the pattern and describing the pattern.


        In the first instructional block, students examine input-output tables in order to look for addition or subtraction patterns in the number pairs.


        The second instructional block focuses on describing patterns in tables by identifying the relationship between the input and output and putting that into a sentence.


        Supported expressions and sentence frames are intentionally built throughout the lesson to scaffold student understanding.

        This lesson is designed to build foundational understanding of input-output tables using multiplication and division.


        The three instructional blocks in this lesson focus on identifying the missing value in a table using multiplication and division, expanding the pattern in a table using multiplication and division, and matching a rule or pattern to a table.


        In the first instructional block, students determine the rule in a table in order to find a missing value using multiplication and division.


        The second instructional block focuses on expanding the pattern in a table by using the determined rule.


        The third instructional block has students match a pattern rule to a table by determining that the same pattern rule works for every pair in the table.


        Supported expressions and sentence frames are intentionally built throughout the lesson to scaffold student understanding.
