Patterns and Algebraic Expressions

The video tutorial introduces linear patterns and how to express them algebraically. It uses a hockey puck example to demonstrate how patterns increase and how to derive algebraic expressions. The tutorial provides practice problems and an additional example to reinforce the concepts. The lesson concludes with encouragement to practice and understand the algebraic expressions of patterns.

What does it mean to describe linear patterns algebraically?

• To write them as a story

• To sing them as a song

• To express them as a math sentence

• To draw them as a picture

Where can patterns be observed in everyday life?

• Only in classrooms

• Only in math books

• Only in nature

• Everywhere around us

In the hockey puck example, how many pucks were there on the first night?

• Nine

• Seven

• Three

• Five

What is the pattern of increase in the hockey puck example?

• Increase by one each time

• Increase by four each time

• Increase by three each time

• Increase by two each time

What does the variable 'n' represent in the algebraic expression?

• The number of pucks

• The total number of terms

• The term or day

• The fixed number

What is the fixed number in the hockey puck pattern?

• Two

• Three

• One

• Four

How is the algebraic expression for the hockey puck pattern written?

• 2 + n

• 1 + 2n

• n + 3

• 3n + 1

How many hockey pucks will there be on the 100th night?

• 202
