Understanding Patterns in Number Sequences

The video tutorial introduces the concept of number patterns, explaining that patterns are ordered sets of numbers or objects. It covers the basic components of patterns, such as terms and rules, and provides examples of patterns using addition, multiplication, and subtraction. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of analyzing patterns to ensure they make sense, highlighting that terms should increase with addition or multiplication and decrease with subtraction or division. The video concludes with a reminder of the key concepts and encourages viewers to engage with more math lessons.

What is a pattern in the context of number sequences?

• A mathematical operation

• A single number

• An ordered set of numbers or objects

• A random set of numbers

What is a 'term' in a pattern?

• The last number in a pattern

• The number or object in the pattern

• The first number in a pattern

• The rule of the pattern

What does a 'rule' in a pattern tell you?

• How to start a pattern

• How to end a pattern

• How to get to the next term in the pattern

• How to skip terms in a pattern

In the pattern 2, 4, 6, 8, what is the rule?

• Multiply by 2

• Add 2

• Subtract 2

• Add 1

What is the second term in the pattern starting with 2 and adding 2 each time?

• 8

• 6

• 4

• 2

If the rule is to multiply by 3 and the first term is 2, what is the second term?

• 3

• 5

• 6

• 9

What is the third term in the pattern starting with 2 and multiplying by 3 each time?

• 12

• 30

• 24

• 18

In the pattern 2, 6, 18, 54, what is the rule?

• Divide by 3

• Add 4

• Multiply by 3

• Subtract 2

If the rule is to subtract 4 and the first term is 60, what is the second term?

• 62

• 56

• 64

• 58

What is the fourth term in the pattern starting with 60 and subtracting 4 each time?

• 50

• 48

• 52

• 54
