Question

count and write the number of ice sticks and complete the. patterns using the rules
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

to count where is image. How can we complete pattern.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This unit provides an opportunity to focus on the strategies students are using to solve number problems, in particular their strategies for solving multiplication and division problems. The matchstick patterns are all based on multiplicative sequences.

Encourage students to think about these patterns by focusing on the different strategies that can be used to calculate successive numbers in the pattern. For example, the pattern for the triangle path made from 9 matchsticks can be seen as in a variety of ways:

3 + 2 + 2 + 2

1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2

3 + (3 X 2)

1 + (4 X 2)

Encourage students to explain their thinking and to see the patterns in a variety of ways.

It is this focus that sets this unit aside from the more traditional approaches using matchstick patterns. It is envisaged that these skills will be part of the support required that will allow children to engage in the more traditional forms of algebra at higher levels.
