November 20 – Agenda

You might say that I ran out of gas and was forced to rest this week!  I’m happy to report that I’m feeling much better now and will be back in the class on Monday.  Thanks to Mrs. Barclay for keeping things going while I was away.

I was trying to think of all the places that I see number patterns everyday. This speedometer is an example of one of those places. There are several patterns happening in this photo. Think about other places where we see number patterns.

I am looking at another number pattern right now. It goes like this: 1, 4, 7  then the next part of it is 2, 5, 8 and the third part is 3, 6, 9. These patterns are on a thing that you all have in your homes. I wonder if you can guess what it is. Leave a comment if you can find it. If you think you know what it is, then look for more patterns on it.

Just for fun here is another pattern rule to figure out:  3, 5, 9, 17, 33, 65… (Hint: this is not an alternating pattern)

• practice your patterning with these links: Stop that Creature and The Function Machine
• Phys ed is Monday…bring you gym clothes
• practice recorder.  I’ll be hearing tests next week!
