Overview

In this chapter, we explore the exciting world of patterns in mathematics. A pattern is a sequence of shapes, numbers, or letters that follow a specific rule. Recognizing and extending patterns helps us think logically and solve problems more easily. We will learn about number patterns like triangul

Key Concepts

A number pattern is a sequence

A number pattern is a sequence of numbers that follow a rule. For example, 2, 4, 6, 8 increases by 2 each time. This rule helps us predict the next nu

Numbers represented by dots in

Numbers represented by dots in a triangle shape. Each row has one more dot than the row above. The total dots follow the rule: n(n+1)/2. For example,

Numbers made by arranging dots

Numbers made by arranging dots in equal rows and columns. The total dots are found by multiplying the number by itself. For example, 4th square number

Growing patterns increase by a rule

Growing patterns increase by a rule (like +5), and reducing patterns decrease by a rule (like –10). These can be seen on number lines or number charts

Learning Objectives

  • Understand what a pattern is and identify different types of patterns.
  • Recognize and extend number, shape, and letter patterns.
