Algebra Rubric Term 3 2021 Name: Owen Booker👀

Criteria	Level 2 (5ii)	Early Level 3	Level 3	Level 4
Algebraic patterns	Explain the rule for a sequential pattern.	Describe the rules for number patterns	Use tables and graphs to describe rules number patterns	Find rules and formulas for number patterns

My Algebra goals: 

Goal	Success Criteria (This is what it will look like when I get there)
I need to explain what the next term of a spatial pattern will be. Eg	To achieve this goal I can say which is the next number, shape or character in the pattern or I know what the next number or shape will be in the next part of the sequence. Eg the next creature is a butterfly. The next pattern will have four triangles.etc.
I can describe what must happen for the next pattern. For example	To achieve this goal I can say what is happening in the patterns eg You add two matches each time to make the next pattern in the sequence. It is going up by 2 each time starting from 3.
I need a strategy to continue a pattern without drawing or building every one.	To achieve this goal I will have a strategy such as a table I can use to work out how many matchsticks there will be needed to make 10 triangles.  Triangles 1 2 3 4 5 Matches 3 5 7 9 11 Each time the difference gets bigger by one so I can work out the 10th pattern without building it.
I need to be able to use a formula to work out the 100th term in a spatial or number pattern	To achieve this goal, I can use letters to represent the term in a sequence that I get from looking at a table and building a formula.   I notice if I double the number of triangles and add 1, I get the number of matches needed so m = double p plus 1. Eg 3 x 2 = 6 plus 1 = 7.

Goal Setting in Algebra

My goal in algebra is to achieve this goal. I will have a strategy such as a table I can use to work out how many matchsticks there will be needed to make 10 triangles and i did it.

Using my the paper to work it out

Talk to someone about:

• I would practice and practice until I got it.

• Drawing it on my worksheet or I would use my mind sometimes for easy stuff and for hard stuff i would draw it on my sheet.

• A bit more time for the worksheet.

Finally post on your Blog 

An Example 

Progress and what could have been better.

I was working on patterns with numbers rather than having to build a little or big table on my worksheet. 

What could have been better was spending more time using tables to help me and a bit more time so i do not have to rush to do my work for school.
