• Create patterns using objects, pictures, numbers, and tables.
• Extend patterns using objects, pictures, numbers, and tables.
• Solve practical problems that involve identifying, describing, and extending single-operation input and output rules, limited to addition, subtraction, and multiplication of whole numbers and addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators of 12 or less.
• Identify the rule in a single-operation numerical pattern found in a list or table, limited to addition, subtraction, and multiplication of whole numbers.
• Write an equation to represent the relationship between equivalent mathematical expressions (ex: 4 x 3 = 2 x 6).
• Identify and use the appropriate symbol to distinguish between expressions that are equal and expressions that are not equal, using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
