Standard  M:19 Pattern and Relationships

Introduction: 

Standard M:19 focuses on the identification of pattern and relationships in mathematics. Mathematics is the science of pattern.

Kindergarten

MK: 19  Identifies and extends to specific cases a variety of patterns including sequences of shapes, sounds, movement, colors, letters, and numbers by extending the pattern to the next one, two, or three elements.

First Grade

M1: 19   Identifies and extends to specific cases a variety of patterns including sequences of shapes, sounds, movement, colors, letters, and numbers by extending the pattern to the next one, two, or
 three elements.

Second Grade

M2: 19: Identifies and extends to specific cases a variety of patterns (linear  and non-numeric) represented in models, tables, or sequences by  extending the pattern to the next element, or finding a missing
element (e.g., 2, 4, 6, ___, 10). M(F&A)–2–1

Third grade

M3: 19 Identifies and extends to specific cases a variety of patterns (linear and non-numeric) represented in models, tables, or sequences by extending the pattern to the next one, two, or three elements, or
   finding missing elements. M(F&A)–3–1

Fourth Grade

M4: 19 Identifies and extends to specific cases a variety of patterns (linear and nonlinear) represented in models, tables or sequences; and writes  a rule in words or symbols to find the next case. M(F&A)–4–1

Fifth grade

M5: 19 Identifies and extends to specific cases a variety of patterns (linear and nonlinear) represented in models, tables, sequences, or in problem situations; and writes a rule in words or symbols for finding specific cases of a linear relationship. M(F&A)–5–1
