Using Rules to Create Number Patterns

The video tutorial guides students through solving a standardized math test question involving number patterns. It is divided into four parts: creating Pattern X by adding 3, creating Pattern Y by subtracting 3, forming coordinate pairs from the patterns, and plotting these pairs on a coordinate plane. The tutorial emphasizes understanding and applying rules to generate patterns and coordinates, enhancing problem-solving skills.

What is the third number in Pattern X if it starts with 2 and follows the rule of adding 3?

• 8

• 5

• 14

• 11

If Pattern Y starts with 13 and follows the rule of subtracting 3, what is the second number in the pattern?

• 4

• 7

• 1

• 10

Which of the following is the correct coordinate pair for the first terms of Pattern X and Pattern Y?

• (2, 10)

• (5, 13)

• (2, 13)

• (8, 7)

What is the coordinate pair for the third terms of Pattern X and Pattern Y?

• (8, 7)

• (5, 10)

• (11, 4)

• (2, 13)

How do you plot the coordinate pair (5, 10) on a coordinate plane?

• Move left 5 units and down 10 units

• Move right 5 units and up 10 units

• Move left 10 units and down 5 units

• Move right 10 units and up 5 units

Which direction do you move on the x-axis for the coordinate pair (8, 7)?

• Left 8 units

• Right 8 units

• Up 8 units

• Down 8 units

What is the final step in plotting the coordinate pair (11, 4) on a coordinate plane?

• Move left 11 units

• Move up 4 units

• Move right 11 units

• Move down 4 units
