Coordinate Pattern Pairs

5.OA.B.3

Definition

Ordered pairs formed by matching the terms of two number patterns, then graphed.

Examples

  • Pairing 0, 1, 2, 3 with 0, 2, 4, 6 gives (0,0), (1,2), (2,4), (3,6).
  • Pairing 0, 3, 6 with 0, 6, 12 gives (0,0), (3,6), (6,12).

Key rule

When two patterns are paired term by term, they form ordered pairs you can graph.

Memory hook

Match the terms, plot the pairs.
