Algebra - Standard 1. Understand patterns, relations, and functions.

• Grades PreK-2
• Recognize, describe, and extend patterns such as sequences of sounds and shapes or simple numeric patterns and translate from one representation to another.
• Analyze how both repeating and growing patterns are generated.
• Grades 3-5
• Describe, extend, and make generalizations about geometric and numeric patterns.
• Represent and analyze patterns and functions, using words, tables, and graphs.
• Grades 6-8
• Represent, analyze, and generalize a variety of patterns with tables, graphs, words, and, when possible, symbolic rules.
