NOTICE PATTERNS
Always be on the lookout for patterns!

What do you think the next number should be?


3, 5, 9, 17, 33...

DESCRIBE PATTERNS
How would you describe the previous pattern?

3, 5, 9, 17, 33

Talk to a classmate and see if you have seen the pattern in a similar or different way.

MATHEMATICIANS

GENERALIZE PATTERNS
3, 5, 9, 17, 33

To generalize, try to write an equation that will always work!

Do you and your neighbor agree?
