Study 4.PFA.1 with SOL PrepBack to Grade 4 Math

What students need to be able to do

  • Identify, describe, extend, and create increasing and decreasing patterns using various representations (e.g., objects, pictures, numbers, number lines, input/output tables, function machines).
  • Analyze a single-operation numerical pattern found in lists, input/output tables, or function machines to identify the rule, extend the pattern, or identify missing terms.
  • Given a rule, create increasing and decreasing patterns using numbers and input/output tables (including function machines).
  • Solve contextual problems that involve identifying, describing, and extending increasing and decreasing patterns using single-operation input and output rules.
