EXT 424K - Developing and Assessing Mathematical Understandings: Patterns II

Patterns II builds on the mathematical ideas from MEC’s initial course, Patterns: Foundations for Algebraic Reasoning, with an emphasis on geometric, graphical and symbolic representations of growth patterns and algebraic expressions. Participants will continue to work with linear growth patterns emphasizing the five representations, spend more time with quadratic and exponential relationships, and learn to interpret change over time from graphs. They will learn to graph phenomena that change over time, and they will examine how algebraic expressions and graphical representations change when patterns are shifted. The course models the Mathematical Practice Standards that are central to the Common Core State Standards.
