GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Algebra: Number Pattern - Explained

The video tutorial explains two different number patterns. Hester's pattern involves multiplying each term by 2 to get the next term, resulting in the sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32. Jack's pattern involves adding an increasing integer to each term, resulting in the sequence 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, and 29. The tutorial demonstrates how to derive these sequences and calculate subsequent terms using the respective rules.

What rule did Hester use to generate the fourth and fifth terms of her number pattern?

What is the sixth term of Hester's number pattern?

How did Jack's method of generating terms differ from Hester's?
