Patterns and Correspondence

Patterns and Correspondence

Correspondence means that once one quantity is set, the other is fixed with it, like pencils that cost 500 won each. By watching how much △ rises each time ○ goes up by one, you can write the rule as △ = ○ × a number and plot it as a straight line. Here you change the multiplier and the number you add for the table and graph, then set the price per item to see cost by quantity.

Relation Between Two Quantities
🔗 When one changes, the other does too
①A pencil 500 won → 3 pencils 1500 won
②When one quantity is fixed, so is the other
③This relation is called "correspondence"

💡 Turn the rule into a formula!
①Find the rule in the table
②How much △ grows when ○ grows by 1
③Write it as: △ = ○ × ? + ?

Summary
Correspondence
○ → △ (△ is determined by ○)
Each input gives one output
Find the Rule
△ = ○ × (mul) + (add)
Analyze differences to write the rule
Show as Graph
Plot the table on coordinates → see the rule
A straight line means constant difference
🎯 Key Points
①Correspondence: one quantity determines another
②Tables make rules visible
③A formula lets you find any value
④Price, distance, time are real-life examples
⑤Use both graph and table for clarity
Examples and Unit Test
Example 1
A pencil costs 500 won. How much for 3 pencils?
1
When the number of pencils (○) is fixed, the price (△) is also fixed; this is a correspondence.
2
Price = number × 500, so 3 × 500 = 1500 won.
1500 won
Correspondence: when one quantity is fixed, the other is determined.
Example 2
With a pencil at 500 won, let ○ be the number and △ the price. Write the rule as a formula.
1
When ○ increases by 1, △ increases by 500.
2
So the rule is △ = ○ × 500.
△ = ○ × 500
See how much △ grows per +1 of ○ to write the rule as a formula.
Unit Test
In the rule △ = ○ × 500, what is △ when ○ = 5?
505
2500
5500
100
② 2500
1
Substitute ○ = 5 into △ = ○ × 500.
2
5 × 500 = 2500.
