This 96-page book provides rich and diverse collections of pattern problems for students to explore, investigate, discover, and create. The five different types of pattern problems found in this book are:\u003cbr\u003e    • Pattern Predictor\u003cbr\u003e    • Equality Explorer\u003cbr\u003e    • Sequence Sleuth\u003cbr\u003e    • Number Ninja\u003cbr\u003e    • Function Finder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are optional hints and detailed solutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom a developmental perspective, the ability to recognize a pattern signals the transition from concrete to abstract thinking. So having students explore pattern problems helps sensitize them to the discovery process that provides a foundation for authentic learning and abstraction. These activities are independent and self-contained, but tend to build on one another and get gradually more sophisticated. This collection deliberately avoids use of variables, but involves reasoning that lays a genuine foundation for algebraic thinking and technique. Calculators are never needed, and their use is discouraged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParents and teachers should encourage students to pursue these pattern problems with a sense of adventure and perseverance. Although this book's patterns are appropriate for Grades 7-9, experiences with these activities may vary widely depending upon readiness for abstraction. There are many ways to solve and explain a pattern problem, and the solutions provided are not intended to be unique. In all situations, and at whatever pace and facility, the transition from concrete to abstract thinking is worthwhile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51893157134624,"sku":"NEW1601447140","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61ffjhwvTkL.jpg?v=1781995953","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/pattern-explorer-level-2-workbook-pattern-problems-to-develop-mathematical-reasoning-grades-7-9-1601447140","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
