be able to describe it recursively or to relate the term value (output) to
the term number (input) will strengthen a student’s ability to deal with
algebraic concepts. The patterns are a concrete way for students to
develop an understanding of a variable and its use in equations and
algebraic expressions.
A strong number sense skill is significant for more advanced work with
solving equations and simplifying algebraic expressions. Recognizing
the divisibility of a number is one way of developing this skill.

Early Finishers
Have students use their Input/Output machine from Explore.
They predict what happens to the output numbers if they
reverse the order of operations and numbers in the
Input/Output machine. Students find the outputs to check
their prediction.
Common Misconceptions
➤ Students do not know how to identify a pattern rule for
a table of values.
How to Help: Have students practise with patterns that
use multiplication, then addition or subtraction. Students
calculate the differences of consecutive terms in the output
column. These differences should be constant. This constant
is the number each input is multiplied by. Students can then
multiply each input number by this constant and compare the
product with the output. This difference is the number that is
added or subtracted in the second part of the machine.
Present the examples in Connect. After you review This shows that the input numbers are

still an even number, so the output is always even.) (No; I counted on by 3s in the output column,
• Which input number has an output of 20? beginning at 13: 16, 19, 22, 25, …. Since I did not

16, 18, 20, and 22. So, an input of 7 has an output (Since we multiply by 3 and subtract 2, each output is 1
of 20.) more than a multiple of 3. But 24 is a multiple of 3,
so it cannot be an output number in this pattern.)

A coded message is used to keep information from everyone
except those to whom it is sent. Rather than just replacing each
letter of the message with a number, the encoder will use one or
two operations on these numbers to make the code harder to
determine. Students could investigate these types of codes and
how they relate to the security of countries and businesses.

Have students find different rules for the patterns in Practice.
For example, the pattern rule in question 3c can be written
different ways.
Common Misconceptions
➤ Students have difficulty identifying recursive patterns
when the preceding term is multiplied by a constant
before another constant is added.
How to Help: Have students generate simple patterns first.
Begin at 1, multiply each term by 2, then add 1 to generate
1, 3, 7, 15, 31, …. Then have students begin at 1, multiply
each term by 2, then add 2 to generate 1, 4, 10, 22, ….
Continue with similar patterns, multiplying, then adding or
subtracting small numbers each time.
ESL Strategies
Students may have difficulty writing pattern rules. Allow them
to describe the rules orally or visually to you or to another
student during Practice exercises. Help students relate the
correct word to the operation they have said or drawn. Have
students highlight this in a notebook or journal that students
can use during assessments.

Lesson 2, Question 5
Step 1 How can you get 7 from 4? Find the missing number.
4 + ____ = 7
Use this number and operation to write the next 3 terms:
4, 7, ____, ____, ____
Write the pattern rule for this pattern.
____________________________________________________________
Step 2 How can you get 7 from 4 using multiplication followed by subtraction?
Find the missing numbers: 4 × ____ – ____ = 7
Use these numbers and operations to write the next 3 terms:
4, 7, ____, ____, ____
Write the pattern rule for this pattern.

Lesson 5, Question 3
For every 150 m above sea level, the temperature decreases about
1°C. The Brienzer-Rothorn Railway takes passengers from an
altitude of 566 m to an altitude of 2244 m on the Rothorn mountain.
Step 2 Now suppose the temperature when you get on the train at the bottom of
the mountain is 9°C. Will the temperature at the top of the mountain be
above or below 0°C? Explain how you know.
