The Pattern Engine
The launch mystery — spot the patterns that wake the city.
Four sixth graders and VEX — a fragment of a century-old Pattern Engine — solve city mysteries that run on grade-level math. Ten chained volumes, one per unit. Solve the math to turn the page. Each volume also works on its own.
The launch mystery — spot the patterns that wake the city.
A rigged headcount — use data and spread to expose the fraud.
A transit race won with ratios, rates, and ratio tables.
Rebuild a district using area, surface area, and volume.
Power the engine with exponents and algebraic expressions.
Go negative — integers, absolute value, and the coordinate plane.
Crack the vault by writing and solving equations and inequalities.
Link dependent and independent variables to predict the outcome.
The finale — remix every unit and reflect on the year.
