12/14 Lesson 4.1.2 Seeing growth in different representations

1.  No warm-up today

2.  Lesson 4.1.2 Growth in different representations (patterns, equations, graphs)
  • For Tile Patterns 1 through 3:
    • Give every team member a chance to examine the pattern individually (silently)
    • Then, talk about what you see.  How is the figure growing?
    • Sketch the next figure (figure 4) and the first figure (figure 0)
    • Where are the new tiles being added in the next figure?  Using a colored pencil or highlighter, color in the new tiles in each figure
    • Label the figure with a rule (an algebraic equation) where y represents number of tiles and x represents the figure number.
    • What will the 100th figure look like?  Describe it in words.  How many tiles will there be?
  • Answer the questions in Problem 14.  Be prepared to share your thinking with the class.
  • Examine Tile Pattern 4 and answer the questions in Problem 15
