Using Patterns and Estimation

Finding Patterns and Making Good Guesses

Patterns are everywhere! Recognizing patterns helps us solve problems faster. Estimation is making a smart guess when you don't need an exact answer.

Spotting Patterns

  • Look for things that repeat or follow a rule.
  • Use patterns to predict what comes next.

Estimation in Action

  • Round numbers to make adding and subtracting easier.
  • Estimate how many candies are in a jar before counting.

Why Is This Useful?

Patterns and estimation help us in math, science, and even when planning a party!

Examples

  • Noticing that the colors on a bracelet repeat: red, blue, green, red, blue, green.

  • Estimating that there are about 50 jellybeans in a jar by looking at how full it is.
