The document is a lesson plan on investigating patterns in algebra. It introduces key vocabulary terms like variable, term, coefficient, constant, and pattern. Students are asked to match these vocabulary words to algebraic representations. The lesson objective is to investigate patterns using algebraic tables, expressions, and equations. An example of a wasting water investigation is provided where students will collect data to identify patterns over time and represent them algebraically. An exit ticket asks students to reflect on what they learned and have additional questions.
