Mathematics Standards
Building upon knowledge and skills gained in preceding grades,
by the end of Grade 5, students will:
Standard 4.3

(Patterns and Algebra) All students will represent and analyze relationships among variable quantities and solve problems involving patterns, functions, and algebraic concepts and processes.

Standard 4.3.5.A Patterns
Standard 4.3.5.A.1
Recognize, describe, extend, and create patterns involving whole numbers.
· Descriptions using tables, verbal rules, simple equations, and graphs
Standard 4.3.5.B  Functions and Relationships
Standard 4.3.5.B.1
Describe arithmetic operations as functions, including combining operations and reversing them.
Standard 4.3.5.B.2
Graph points satisfying a function from T-charts, from verbal rules, and from simple equations.
Standard 4.3.5.C  Modeling
Standard 4.3.5.C.1
Use number sentences to model situations.
· Using variables to represent unknown quantities
· Using concrete materials, tables, graphs, verbal rules, algebraic expressions/equations
Standard 4.3.5.C.2
Draw freehand sketches of graphs that model real phenomena and use such graphs to predict and interpret events.
· Changes over time
· Rates of change (e.g., when is plant growing slowly/rapidly, when is temperature dropping most rapidly/slowly)
Standard 4.3.5.D  Procedures
Standard 4.3.5.D.1
