Recognizing Patterns & Sequences

Describe the pattern in this scenario.

• No pattern

• 3 daisies, 4 daisies, 2 daisies...repeat

• The pattern is that the daisies are decreasing each time

Write the pattern as a numeric sequence

• 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4

• 3,3,3,4,4,4,2,2,2

• 3,4,3,4,3,4,3,4

Analyze the number of dark triangles and select below the choices that are correct.

• 1,3,6,10,15,21

• 1,3,6,10,14,17

• The second term has two more than the first, the third term has three more than the second, the fourth term has four more than the third and so on...

• Each term adds 4 to the previous term

Create a numeric sequence of the first 6 mini-games of the sequence.

• 750, 700, 650, 600, 550, 500

• 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750

• 500, 550, 600, 650

• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Describe the pattern in the senario

• Multiply by 50 each time

• Subtract 50 each time

• Add 50 each time

• Add 1 each time

Describe the pattern and the first six terms of the numeric sequence.

• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

• 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8

• Each shape looks the same

• Each term has one more side than the previous term

Write the numeric sequence for the first four terms and describe the pattern.

• 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8

• 1, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2

• 1, 1, 1, 1

• Each slice is 1/2 the size of the previous slice.

• Each slice is 1/2 of the whole pizza

Describe the pattern and write the numeric sequence for the first 6 terms.

• Multiply by 3 each time.

• Add 3 each time.

• 5, 15, 45, 135, 405, 1215

• 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35

Describe the pattern and write the numeric sequence for the first 7 terms

• 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49

• 49, 36, 25, 16, 9, 4, 1

• Begins with 49. The number of perfect squares is decreasing.

• Begins with 1. The number of perfect squares is increasing.

Write the numeric sequence of the first 5 terms and describe the pattern.

• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

• 3, 5, 7, 9, 11

• Add 2 each time

• Add 1 each time
