What to Focus On
- Mathematics is the search for patterns and their explanations.
- Mathematics is both an art and a science.
- Patterns appear in daily life, nature, and technology.
- Number theory studies patterns in whole numbers.
- A number sequence is a pattern of numbers.
- Common sequences include odd numbers, even numbers, triangular numbers, squares, cubes, Virahānka numbers, powers of 2, and powers of 3.
- Pictures help show number patterns clearly.
- Triangular numbers make triangle dot patterns.
- Square numbers make square dot patterns.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A number can belong to only one pattern, so 36 cannot be both a triangular number and a square number.
A pattern stops when the examples shown stop, so adding odd numbers may work for a few terms but not forever.
The sum of odd numbers gives some random answers, so there is no rule to follow.
Memory Tips
