If you understand the Arithmetic sequence and the rule, then you'll be able to use it in everyday life. You may be able to help others understand, you can also use it to help make educated guesses. It can also help aid in mental skills such as, critical thinking and logic.

You will find one partner to work with. You will need to gather the materials needed and find a seat somewhere in the classroom. You will then choose who will go first.
The first person will then, using their M&M's, build a pattern without showing or telling the other person what it is.
(The pattern must have at least 3 sequences, but no more than 6.)
Your partner will then figure out the rule   for the arithmetic sequence, using their white boards as needed.
When they have figured out the correct rule then you can switch and have the other person create their own pattern with the other one figuring out the rule.
This should be done in 30 minutes.
Once time runs out, you can eat your M&M's.

Hello students, today I will be introducing patterns to our class. We will be focusing on Arithmetic Sequences and the rules that go along with them.

# data[].attributes.body
Arithmetic math was developed by Egyptians and although there is no actual history to when sequences were invented, a man named Carl Gauss (1777) did develop the formula for the Arithmetic Sequence, at the age of 10. He went on to become a well known mathematician who also contributed to many things including number theories and geometry.

Operations and Algebraic Thinking
-4.OA.C- Generate and analyze patterns.
-4.OA.C.5- Generate a number pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself and  explain the pattern informally (e.g., given the rule “add 3” and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers).

You will be able to find the terms of a sequence and state the rule.

Arithmetic Sequence- a sequence of numbers that is made by adding the same value each time.
Rule- how you got to the answer (what the rule of the pattern is)
