MATH STRAND I
PATTERNS RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS
1. Sort or identify objects on multiple attributes (e.g., size, shape, and shading).
This outcome includes sorting or identifying illustrations of real-life objects or geometric shapes based upon attributes and explaining reasoning used. Test items will use illustrations of real-life objects and geometric shapes that are familiar to fourth-grade students.
2. Use patterns to make generalizations and predictions by
a) determining a rule and Identifying missing numbers in a sequence;
b) determining a rule and Identifying missing numbers in a table of number pairs;
c) identifying missing elements In a pattern and justifying their Inclusion; and
d) determining a rule and identifying missing numbers in a sequence of numbers or a table of number pairs related by a combination of addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.Students need to be able to recognize, describe, and extend a variety of patterns and to use patterns to make generalizations and predictions. Test items require the student to continue a pattern by identifying or supplying a missing element(s) and/or describing a rule. Patterns are presented as a sequence of numbers or shapes, a table of number pairs, or an illustration of patterns found in nature.
