3. Identify the pattern rule for each pattern below.
     a)      12, 15, 18, 21….
     b)     65, 62, 59, 53….
     c)       81, 72, 63, 54…..
d)      56, 49, 42, 35………             

4. The same number is added in the pattern to get the next value. Below are the fourth, fifth and sixth terms in the pattern.
         106, 109, 112
 What are the first, second and third term in the pattern?

5. Use the explicit patterning rule to answer the questions below 
Term Number= first term + ({term #-1} x common difference)

a)14, 17, 20, 23.....
find term 55

b) 21, 26, 31, 36.....
find the 34th term

c) 99, 96, 93...
find the 22th term

6. Each question involves an operation (multiplication, division, addition and subtraction) between columns 1 and 2 and then an additional step. So these are multi step questions.

Science Challenge

For this next challenge you may need to do a little bit of research. I will accept this challenge until the end of the week.
The English language is rich in nouns that describe groups of the same animals. (e.g. colony of ants, bed of snakes). For this activity I will give you an animal and you need to research what its group name is.

Animal Name
Group Name
Ants
Example colony
Snakes
Bed
Cats

Cattle

Chickens

Dogs

Ducks

Eagles

Elephants

Elk

Ferrets

Foxes

Frogs

Geese

Monkeys

Pigs

Turtles

Jellyfish

Math Challenge

These questions are very similar to what we did in math today. Each question involves an operation (multiplication, division, addition and subtraction) between columns 1 and 2 and then an additional step. So these are multi step questions.

36           6              4

Thanks for another great week everyone. A quick update:

Science- You will be given one more work period for your kingdom - we will do a gallery walk on Tuesday
-If you think that you and your partner will not be done on time, you can complete some research at home and bring it in

Writing- Please be sure to submit your Remembrance Day letters if you have not already done so

Reading- Be sure to be tracking your reading minutes

Here are some patterning games to check out over the weekend if you have time :)
