Identifying Patterns in Shapes and Numbers

The video tutorial explains how to identify and continue both number and shape patterns. It begins with a number pattern, showing how to find the rule by examining the differences between numbers. The pattern is identified as adding an increasing sequence of numbers. The tutorial then moves to shape patterns, assigning numbers to shapes to identify the repeating sequence. The video emphasizes using verbal or numerical methods to recognize patterns.

What is the first step in identifying a pattern?

• Ignoring the pattern

• Guessing the next number

• Drawing the pattern

• Finding the rule used in the pattern

How do you determine the rule in a number pattern?

• By looking at the first number only

• By adding all numbers together

• By checking the differences between consecutive numbers

• By counting the total numbers

What is the next number in the pattern: 4, 6, 9, 13?

• 17

• 15

• 16

• 18

What is the rule for the number pattern: 4, 6, 9, 13?

• Add 3, 4, 5

• Add 2, 3, 4

• Add 1, 2, 3

• Add 4, 5, 6

How can you identify a shape pattern?

• By counting the shapes

• By drawing the shapes

• By assigning numbers to each shape

• By ignoring the shapes

What number is assigned to a triangle in the shape pattern?

• 4

• 2

• 3

• 1

What is the sequence of shapes in the pattern: triangle, triangle, square, circle?

• Triangle, triangle, square, circle

• Square, circle, triangle, triangle

• Triangle, square, circle, triangle

• Circle, square, triangle, triangle

How can saying the pattern out loud help?

• It changes the pattern

• It has no effect

• It makes it more confusing

• It helps in identifying the pattern

What is the benefit of assigning numbers to shapes in a pattern?

• It has no benefit

• It changes the pattern

• It helps in easily identifying the sequence

• It makes the pattern harder to understand
