Students explore, analyze, and extend patterns represented with tables, graphs, symbols, words and situations. Students use these models to hone their ability to estimate the volume of small objects in the context of the Fill It First Game. Decreasing relationships are then explored in Lesson 6 Sandwich Mass. Within these two contexts, students then use the relationship between larger and smaller units to solve problems, look for patterns in function tables, and make predictions and generalizations.
