How do you identify a pattern rule?

Back

To identify a pattern rule, look for a consistent operation (like addition or subtraction) applied to each term to get to the next.

What is the rule for the pattern: 65, 62, 59, 56, 53, 50?

Back

Subtract 3 from each term to get the next term.

Front

What is the next number in the pattern: 320, 340, 360?

Back

The next number is 380, as the pattern adds 20 to each term.

Front

If a pattern starts with 4 and increases by 3, what are the next two terms?

Back

The next two terms are 10 and 13.

What does it mean to extend a table in mathematics?

Back

Extending a table means adding more rows or columns to show additional data or continue a pattern.

Front

What is the next term in the sequence: 4, 7, 10, 13?

Back

The next term is 16.

How can you find the missing number in a pattern?

Back

To find the missing number, identify the pattern rule and apply it to the known numbers.

Front

What is the rule for the tile pattern if the 5th shape has 9 tiles?

Back

The rule may involve adding a specific number of tiles for each subsequent shape.
