Example Question #1 : Operations And Algebraic Thinking
What is the pattern for the numbers in the X column to the numbers in the Y column?
Multiply

The question is asking what do we do to the value is the X column to get the value in the Y column. If we look at each value, we should see that each X value is multiplied by to get the Y value.
To find the rule, you may have to do some trial and error. The most important thing to remember is, once you think you have the rule, make sure to test the rule with all of the X values.

Example Question #3 : Operations And Algebraic Thinking
Jessica has been collecting beads all summer. She started with beads and by the end of the summer she was able to add more beads to her collection. On the first day of school she wants to evenly split the beads up amongst her friends. How many beads will each friend get?
To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are the number of beads she will have by the end of the summer and the number of beads each of her friends will receive. We can set up equations for these unknowns by letting represent the beads that she has at the end of the summer and represent the number of beads each of her friends will receive.
because she gets more beads by the end of the summer.
because she is splitting up her total amount of beads between friends. When you split something up evenly you divide.
