Lawn Mowing Business 4.OA.5 - Task 3 Domain Operations and Algebraic Thinking Cluster Generate and analyze patterns. Standard(s) 4.OA.5 Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way. Materials Activity sheet Task Lawn Mowing Business Ted and Nancy both mow lawns during the summer to earn money. Ted charges $10 per lawn and $2 per hour. Nancy charges $4 per lawn and $4 per hour.

Part 1: Complete the table to show how much Ted and Nancy would each earn based on the amount of time that it took to mow a lawn. Ted Nancy ½ hour 1 hour 1 and ½ hours 2 hours 2 and ½ hours 3 hours 3 and ½ hours 4 hours
