ALGEBRA Getting ready for...

Math Menu This math menu supports the Mathematics strand: Pattern and Function. It has been designed for Grade 6 students at CDNIS.

Are you ready to venture into the unknown?

CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING

Patterns can often be generalized using algebraic expressions, equations or functions. Exponential notation is a powerful way to express repeated products of the same number. Understanding how to solve problems using algebra requires a solid footing in a number of skills. The activities in this math menu are presented in a sequential order. It is important that you work through these in order. If you understand the ideas in stage 1, move on to the next stage. You do not need to completed all of the activities in each stage. However, you must have evidence of your proficiency in stage before moving on to the next. You may work on these activities individually, with a partner or in a small group. The evidence of your understanding though must be an individual effort. If you are not sure about anything in this menu, please remember to see Ms Fenton for assistance.After

each math class record your work on the Google form for our class.

x=? After completing this unit you will: ✴Understand that patterns can be generalized by a rule. ✴Understand that patterns can be represented, analyzed and generalized using tables, graphs and words and symbolic rules ✴Understand exponents as repeated multiplication ✴Understand the inverse relationship between exponents and roots ✴Use functions to solve problem ✴Select appropriate methods to analyze patterns and identify rules

Are you a risk-taker in math? There will always be an unknown, or a variable, in algebraic expressions. Develop your confidence in solving these types of problems by working through the activities in this menu. Be a mathematical risk-taker!
