Students look for patterns in the relationship between variables. They review how to represent these variables in graphs and tables and then use those patterns to make predictions and generalizations. Students also explore mean by manipulating models (e.g., evening out towers, folding strips). They then compare the bounce height to the drop height of a ball and use that data to make predictions and reason about multiplicative relationships. Students also explore these relationships in function machines as they generalize patterns as rules.
