Note from the author:

A demo for how to embed the CPM e-Tools into your formative so that students can construct their tile patterns and take advantage of copy-paste to build figures off of similar figures.

Embedding Tools from CPM
I embedded CPM eTools throughout the lesson to make it easier for students to create a representation of upcoming figures in the pattern. With the embedded tools students can use copy-pasting to create figures based on previous figures or parts of previous figures.

To do this
1. Setup the etool you want to use [CPM ebook tools]

2. When the tool is configured the way you want students to use it click save and copy the Save code beginning with https://

3. Paste the output into an iframe generator [I just search "iframe generator"]. Recommend changing the width to 800 or 1000 and the height to 400-600 as needed before clicking generate and copying the output.

4. Copy the generated iframe code into an embed in GoFormative (click the blue circle/plus)

Practice Problem 1

Using the pattern above, what would the 4th and 5th figures look like? Use the tool to show them below. Then take a screenshot and upload it to the Show Your Work.

How can you describe the way the pattern is growing? Can you find more than one way?

How many dots would be in the 10th Figure? Draw it below. (hint: you can just make dots with your finger on the screen, you can use your new stylus (if you have it), or you can use the shapes tool to help you draw circles)

How many dots would be in the 30th figure? How can you describe the figure without drawing it? Can you describe it with words, numbers, or a simple diagram? Explain your ideas below. DO NOT DRAW THE FIGURE!

Practice Problem 2

Using the dot pattern above, draw the 4th and 5th figures in the space below.

Predict how many dots will be in the 100th figure. DO NOT DRAW THE FIGURE!

Practice Problem 3

Using the dot pattern above, draw the 4th and 5th figure in the space below.

Predict how many dots will be in the 100th figure.

Additional Challenge

Using the dot pattern above, draw the 4th and 5th figure in the space below.

Hint: try selecting previous figures and using Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V to copy/paste.
