Front

What is a pattern in mathematics?

Back

A pattern in mathematics is a sequence or arrangement of numbers, shapes, or objects that follows a specific rule or set of rules.

Front

How do you identify the next term in a numerical pattern?

Back

To identify the next term in a numerical pattern, determine the rule that governs the pattern (e.g., addition, subtraction, multiplication) and apply it to the last known term.

Front

What is the rule for the pattern: 2, 5, 8?

Back

The rule for the pattern is to add 3 to the previous number.

Front

What is the next number in the pattern: 11, 14, 17?

Back

The next number is 20, following the rule of adding 3.

Front

How do you find a missing number in a pattern?

Back

To find a missing number in a pattern, identify the rule of the pattern and apply it to the known numbers to solve for the unknown.

Front

What does it mean to subtract a number in a sequence?

Back

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

Front

What is the output of the operation for the numbers 54 and 69 if the rule is to subtract 10?

Back

The output would be 44 and 59, as you subtract 10 from each number.

Front

What is a numerical sequence?

Back

A numerical sequence is an ordered list of numbers that follows a specific rule or pattern.

Front

What is the significance of identifying patterns in mathematics?

Back

Identifying patterns helps in predicting future terms, solving problems, and understanding relationships between numbers.

Front

How can you describe the pattern of blocks increasing by 5 each time?

Back

The pattern can be described as an arithmetic sequence where each term increases by 5.
