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
Mathematics as the search for patterns and explanations
