Write About the Math
How can pattern rules tell you how many points each player has after the streak — and how can a table of values prove your answer is reasonable?¿Cómo te pueden decir las reglas de patrón cuántos puntos tiene cada jugador después de la racha — y cómo puede una tabla de valores probar que tu respuesta es razonable?
Say your answer to a partner first. Then write it, using at least two of these words:
Model: The lesson distinguishes patterns that keep going (like coin value scaling) from one-time facts (like the jar's specific total). — A strong answer explains a pattern applies to any number of coins (it generalizes), while a fact like $53.50 is fixed to this one jar. A weak answer just labels each card without explaining the difference.
