What I Noticed in Class Today...

I really enjoyed math class because I saw a variety of ways to describe patterns. It was very interesting to hear your different descriptions of the same pattern. Describing patterns using algebraic expressions can be very difficult but it appears that you all are up to the challenge.

hey mrs.burke
I just figured out the circle problem and it works for every one even 0 terms. I will share with you tomorrow at school before I post it on the blog. It is really complicated right now so I will try to simplify before showing you

I also was surprised at how many ways there are to describe patterns. They all got the right answer, but the formula for finding it was different. It all depended on your point of view.

I was really confused about how to work out the circle problem the other day. But after I got home i talked to my dad about it because he is very good at figuring these kind of problems out. After talkting to him I relized that its a bit easier if you just look at the numbers and not at the actualy circle. I think I almost have the answer. (and no i didn't just get it from gofigure) I just need to work on the details for a little while longer then i think i'll have it.

i'm just having toruble like coming up with the expressions for the patterns i find it very challenging to find a working pattern
