Students routinely seek patterns or structure to model and solve problems. They recognize that patterns exist in ratio tables and make connections with the constant of proportionality in a table and the slope of a graph

Students routinely seek patterns or structure to model and solve problems. They recognize that patterns exist in ratio tables and make connections with the constant of proportionality in a table and the slope of a graph. Students recognize patterns and identify and develop strategies for creating equivalent expressions. Students identify complicated expressions or figures as compositions of simple parts.
