number and shape patterns (4th grade)

Front

What is a shape pattern?

Back

A shape pattern is a sequence of shapes that follow a specific rule or arrangement, where each shape is related to the others in a predictable way.

Front

How do you identify the next shape in a pattern?

Back

To identify the next shape in a pattern, observe the sequence of shapes and determine the rule that governs the pattern, such as color, shape type, or size.

Front

What does it mean to subtract in a number pattern?

Back

Subtracting in a number pattern means to take away a specific number from the previous term to find the next term in the sequence.

Front

If the first term of a pattern is 29 and the rule is to subtract 2, what is the 5th term?

Back

The 5th term is 21, calculated as follows: 29, 27, 25, 23, 21.

Front

What is a numerical pattern?

Back

A numerical pattern is a sequence of numbers that follows a specific rule, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Front

How can you find the nth term in a pattern?

Back

To find the nth term in a pattern, identify the rule of the pattern and apply it repeatedly until you reach the desired term.

Front

What is the significance of the 16th term in a pattern?

Back

The 16th term in a pattern is important as it helps to understand the continuation of the pattern and can be used to predict future terms.

Front

What is a visual pattern?

Back

A visual pattern is a sequence of images or shapes that follow a specific arrangement or rule, often used to teach concepts of symmetry, repetition, and design.

Front

How do you determine the number of shapes in a pattern?

Back

To determine the number of shapes in a pattern, analyze the arrangement and rules governing the pattern to count the shapes in each section.

Front

What is the next shape in a pattern if the sequence is Circle, Square, Triangle?

Back

The next shape in the pattern would be a Circle, if the pattern repeats.
