Describing a series of number (décrire la suite numérique)
When asked to describe a series of numbers, students can:
1. Where does it start? Where does it end? It is forward or backward?
2. Write the rule (la régularité) - does it increase or decrease and by how many?
3. Write if there is any pattern in the numbers in the series (for example all even/odd or alternation of even/odd)
4. Write if it is increasing (croissant) or decreasing (décroissant)
5. Students may also write the pattern they observe when the series of number are represented on a 100 chart.
The following anchor chart we use in class might help students at home.
In addition to describing number patterns, students will also see questions on
- Ordinal numbers (writing them in letters)
- Using 100 chart to count.
Every even-numbered page of student math workbook (blue-covered) has a section called "révision éclair" and it provides a summery of lessons we have done. Students are encouraged to reread and refer to this part of the workbook to remind themselves of the core concepts, observe the example questions and use the math vocabulary.
