In Grade 4 math (enVision Mathematics, Chapter 14), students learn how to identify and extend repeating patterns made up of shapes or numbers, then use division to predict any specific term in the pattern, such as the 49th or 100th item. The lesson covers recognizing that positions of each shape correspond to multiples or near-multiples of the pattern's cycle length, and applying that relationship to solve problems efficiently. Students also practice constructing math arguments to justify their predictions.
