Grade 3. Students explore both repeating and growing patterns with multiplication fact arrays as one way to display a growing pattern. Other growing patterns are displayed with manipulatives and tables. Students then use function machines to determine rules and to find missing numbers in input/output tables. They set up a fair test to collect data about a flower bulb, then display their collected data in tally tables, line plots, bar graphs, and line graphs. Range, mode, and median are used to analyze data. Each student nurtures a plant during the unit and keeps a plant log to collect and analyze data about it.
