Chapter 15.1

Patterns


What You'll Learn

Identify and describe numeric and visual patterns in tables and figures
Create tables of values to organize and extend pattern data
Use variables to write algebraic expressions that represent patterns
Substitute values into expressions to solve for unknown variables
Recognize relationships between numerators, denominators, and repeating decimals

What You'll Practice

1

Counting elements in visual patterns and completing tables

2

Writing expressions using variables and coefficients

3

Converting between fractions and repeating decimals

4

Substituting given values into expressions to find unknowns

Why This Matters

Understanding patterns builds your foundation for algebra by connecting visual sequences to mathematical expressions. This skill helps you recognize relationships in data, predict future values, and translate real-world situations into equations you can solveessential for success in higher-level math.
