Understanding Basic Mathematical Concepts

Rocky, a historian, and his assistant Cleo explore arithmetic patterns. They begin by explaining what a pattern is using toys as examples. They then examine patterns in an addition table, highlighting the commutative property and the behavior of even and odd numbers. Next, they explore a multiplication table, discussing skip counting, multiples, and the commutative property. The video concludes with encouragement to practice these concepts.

What is a pattern?

• A single number

• An ordered set of numbers or objects

• A mathematical operation
