Patterns, Charts, Rules & Expressions

Solving Problems with Patterns!

Mr. Henderson sells steak knives to make up for his poor salary as a public school teacher. He earns an extra $25 per week and is saving up to by a razor for his beard.

1) How much money has Mr. Henderson collected at the end of one week? Two weeks?
2) Make a table to show the amounts for the first eight weeks. Write rules for the pattern.
3) Will Mr. Henderson ever collect a total of $240? $250? $260? How do you know?
4) Based on the table you made, express the pattern as a mathematical expression (2+2=4).

Book Review Time!

As you know, I have asked each of you to do 30 minutes of independent reading each night. Please take a moment and tell us what you have been reading and whether or not you would recommend to a classmate.

Terry Fox Run Pattern Blog

After cancer surgery, Terry Fox decided to run across Canada to raise funds for cancer research. He created the "Marathon of Hope" which continues to raise funds today.

Every September, people around the world take part in the Terry Fox Run. The run raises millions of dollars for cancer research.

This September, Mr. Henderson will run 10 kms.

Mr. Henderson made this table to find out how much he would get from each pledge:

Amount per Kilometre Amount Pledged
10 cents $1.00
20 cents $2.00
30 cents $3.00
40 cents $4.00
50 cents $5.00

Mr. Henderson will run around a 400 metre track

Here is part of a table. It shows how many laps he needs to complete to run 10 000 metres.

Number of laps Distance in Metres
1 400
2 800
3 1200
4 1600
5 2000

1. What patterns do you see in the tables (write the rules)?
2. One of Mr. Henderson's friends pledged 60 cents per km. What is the amount pledged?
3. How could you find out how many laps Mr. Henderson will run?

Patterns - Wow!

Think of a cool pattern. Write it down in your notebook using terms, English and counters. Submit your pattern (in terms ie. 2, 4 , 6, 8) on the blog!

Try to figure out some of your friends' patterns. Try and trick your parents!
