🔄 Patterns and Algebraic Thinking
This quiz explores repeating and growing patterns, variables, and simple equations. You'll identify pattern rules, extend visual and numerical sequences, write equations to represent relationships, and solve one-step problems. Patterns help us understand how things change and connect to algebra. **What you'll learn:** - Identify and extend repeating patterns (visual and numerical) - Find the rule in growing patterns and represent them with equations - Use variables to show unknown values - Solve one-step equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division - Create tables and write descriptions to represent patterns
