1. Types of Patterns

  • There are two main types of patterns: Geometric Patterns and Number Patterns.
  • Geometric patterns use shapes, colours, or designs arranged in a repeating or growing sequence.
  • Number patterns are sequences of numbers that follow a rule like adding, subtracting, multiplying, or a combination of operations.

2. Geometric Patterns

  • Geometric patterns can involve repeating shapes, increasing lines, or rotating figures.
  • Look for changes in position, size, number of sides, or direction (clockwise/anticlockwise).
  • Example: Arrows turning clockwise or lines being added one by one.

3. Number Patterns

  • Number patterns follow rules like adding, subtracting, multiplying, or a combination.
  • To find the rule, subtract or divide consecutive numbers.
  • Some patterns grow by adding the same number each time (e.g., +3, +3, +3).

4. Patterns with Number Operations

  • Some patterns are shown in diagrams where numbers relate to each other using operations.
  • Example: A number in a circle is the sum of two numbers outside it.
  • Another pattern: The sum of numbers on a straight line equals a fixed number like 18.
