Lesson 2.7 - Problem Solving - Look For A Pattern

The document provides an example of looking for a pattern to solve a word problem about how long it will take a girl's ponytail to grow to 11 inches if it grows 1 inch every 2 months. It then asks a word problem about how many miles a boy will run on the 27th day of training if he increases his distance every other day following a pattern. The remainder of the document is a five-minute quiz on integers.

Look For a Pattern

HAIR Lelani wants to grow an 11-inch ponytail to


cut off and donate to a program that makes wigs for
children with cancer. She has a 3-inch ponytail
now, and her hair grows about one inch every two
months. How long will it take for her ponytail to
reach 11 inches?
Understand You know the length of Lelani’s ponytail
now. You know how long Lelani wants her
ponytail to grow and you know how fast her
hair grows. You need to know how long it
will take for her ponytail to reach 11 inches.
Plan Look for a pattern. Then extend the pattern
to find the solution.
Look For a Pattern

Solve After the first two months, Lelani’s ponytail will


be 3 inches + 1 inch, or 4 inches. Her hair
grows according to the pattern below.
3 in. 4 in. 5 in. 6 in. 7 in. 8 in. 9 in. 10 in. 11 in.

+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1
Answer: It will take eight sets of two months, or
16 months total, for Lelani’s ponytail to reach
11 inches.
Check Lelani’s ponytail grew from 3 inches to 11
inches, a difference of eight inches, in 16 months.
Since one inch of growth requires two months
and 8 × 2 = 16, the answer is correct.
RUNNING Samuel ran 2 miles on his first day of
training to run a marathon. On the third day, Samuel
increased the length of his run by 1.5 miles. If this
