MATH TEST THURSDAY

We have been working on number patterns and geometry in math. Students are much more confident with number patterns than they were with our first  numeracy unit. I still want to reinforce that students must know their basic number facts much more fluently. On nights with no homework, it would help if parents worked with students on their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts. ALSO, go to this LINK ANCHOR CHARTS THAT WE USE IN CLASS.

GRADE 6 MATH TEST

• WRITE A PATTERN RULE FOR A NUMBER PATTERN
• IDENTIFY, EXTEND AND CREATE PATTERNS
• FIND THE VALUE OF A MISSING NUMBER IN AN EQUATION
• BEGINNING ALGEBRA (SEE ANCHOR CHART ABOVE)
• IDENTIFY THE FUNCTION OF AN INPUT/OUTPUT MACHINE
• LOOK FOR PATTERNS HORIZONTALLY IN INPUT/OUTPUT MACHINES--LOOK FOR THE SECRET SAUCE OR THE SHORTCUT (KIDS KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS

TRY THIS WORKSHEET for grade 6. The machines are sideways instead of verticle but the same idea as we do in class. These examples are fairly challenging, they can use a calculator. There is an answer sheet on this page as well to check their answers.

GRADE 5 MATH TEST

• FIND A PATTERN RULE FOR A NUMBER PATTERN
• IDENTIFY, EXTEND AND CREATE PATTERNS
• DESCRIBE AND MODEL PATTERNS (MAYBE GEOMETRIC PATTERNS)
• USE PATTERNS TO POSE AND SOLVE PATTERNS
• USE PATTERNS IN A TABLE TO MAKE PREDICTIONS (INPUT/OUTPUT MACHINES)
• LOOK FOR PATTERNS HORIZONTALLY IN INPUT/OUTPUT MACHINES--LOOK FOR THE SECRET SAUCE OR THE SHORTCUT (KIDS KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS.

TRY THIS WORKSHEET FOR GRADE 5. These machines have a single function.
