Chalk Talk: Number Patterns
Students begin learning to "skip-count" (by twos, fives, tens, etc.) at young ages, and by the time they reach third grade, are expected to be able to solve for missing numbers in patterns using their knowledge of the operations. The following is an example: Students may be asked what number comes next after the numbers 8, 16, 24, and 32. If they recognize that each number in the sequence is a factor of eight (8x1, 8x2, 8x3, 8x4), they would recognize that the number 40 completes the pattern (8x5). They may also be asked to find numbers beyond this in the sequence or to find a number in the middle of a sequence. Third graders will also need strong knowledge of odd and even numbers and when they result in different types of scenarios. For example, they must recognize that multiplying an even number by an odd number always results in an even product.
