CCSS.4.OA.C.5 Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way.

TEKS.3.5.E represent real-world relationships using number pairs in a table and verbal descriptions.

TEKS.5.4.C generate a numerical pattern when given a rule in the form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 or 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 𝑎 and graph;

VA.PFA.4.15 The student will identify, describe, create, and extend patterns found in objects, pictures, numbers, and tables.

VA.PFA.5.18 The student will identify, describe, create, express, and extend number patterns found in objects, pictures, numbers and tables.
