Patterns and repeated reasoning are key features of two Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP), namely #7, "Look for and make use of structure," and #8, "Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning." Attendees will explore the difference through a task designed for learners of differing abilities and connect the SMP and the mathematics content exhibited through the task engagement.
