Students describe, extend and explain how to get to the next element in simple repeating patterns. The purpose of the algebra and functions standards in early primary grades is to help students learn about appropriate symbolic and other representations and patterns. This strand is closely tied to the number sense strand. It is important to help students see connections between patterns as a topic and topics within number sense. Grade 2 Students demonstrate an understanding of patterns and how they grow, and describe them in general ways.
Students create and solve problems involving simple number patterns.

Grade 3 Students represent and interpret numerical and geometric patterns and simple function relationships. 4-K Use algebraic methods to explore, model, and describe patterns and functions involving numbers, shapes, data, and graphs in problem solving situations and communicate the reasoning used in solving these problems.
