What to Focus On

  • A pattern follows a rule.
  • Patterns can be made with numbers, shapes, or letters.
  • Knowing the rule helps us extend the pattern.

  • Triangular numbers form triangle shapes with dots.
  • Each row has one more dot than the row above.
  • The formula to find the nth triangular number is $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$.

  • Square numbers form perfect squares with dots.
  • Each side has the same number of dots.
  • The nth square number is $n^2$.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All number patterns increase by adding the same number each time.

The nth term of a triangular number pattern is n × n.

The next number in a pattern can be guessed just by looking quickly.
