Alaska Performance Standards
Grade 5
Functions and Relationships
The student demonstrates conceptual understanding of functions, patterns, or sequences.
Lessons (3)
Students learn about factoring by using manipulatives and computer applets.
Finding the factors of whole numbers.
Students will graph input/output pairs from a simple linear function in order to gain an understanding of basic linear functions.
Activities (4)
Visualize factors through building rectangular areas on a grid. First enter all the factorizations of a number, then draw each factor set as an area on the grid. Factorize is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Visualize factors through building rectangular areas on a grid. As you draw each factor set on the grid, the factors will be listed. Factorize 2 is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Recognize patterns in a series of shapes, numbers, or letters. After determining the pattern, the student fills in the missing pieces. Three levels of difficulty are available.
Give input to the Whole Number Cruncher and try to guess what it did from the output it generates. This activity only generates multiplication and addition functions to avoid outputting any negative numbers. Whole Number Cruncher is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
