4.OA.5 Edit 55…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.

Students need to recognize patterns, extend patterns, describe patterns, and create patterns. Repeated patterns have a part or a core that repeats over and over. Examples of repeated patterns can include using shapes and numbers. You can describe a pattern by stating the rule it is following. Number Changing number patterns are examples of number sequences. A sequence is a set of numbers that are arranged in a certain order. Each number in the sequence is called a term. Essential vocabulary for this standard includes rule, term, and pattern (online dictionary, multilingual dictionary).
Examples
Repeating pattern: 1,4,7, 1,4,7, 1,4,7, 1,4,7, 147, 1,4,7, 1,4,7
Changing pattern: 1,4,7,10,13,16,19,22,25,28,31,34,37
