Figuring Out Patterns--Simple and Not-So-Simple

Today, we spent the class period looking for patterns in a variety of situations. Some were numeric, while others were not. Many students were able to complete most of the problems on both sides of the "In and Out" worksheet.

We also looked at a puzzle requiring you to move objects from one end of a strip to another, using just slides and jumps. Students were challenged to determine the pattern for the minimum number of moves. I'll ask for the pattern on Tuesday, March 29th.

Tonight's Homework: Finish both of the green worksheets (Teddy Bear Slide and Jump and In and Out) for Tuesday, March 29th.

Have a safe and relaxing spring break!
