Age Relationships and Patterns in Mathematics

In this lesson, students learn to substitute values to evaluate addition and subtraction expressions. The teacher uses a T-chart to compare ages and identify patterns in columns and rows. Students explore how to formulate expressions based on these patterns and solve age-related problems. The lesson concludes with a review of key concepts.
