Growing Patterns
Learning intention
Identify how a pattern changes and predict what comes next.
Learn
A growing pattern changes by following a rule. Find the change between neighbouring terms and use the same rule to continue.
Worked example
The pattern 2, 5, 8, 11 grows by 3 each time. The next term is 11 + 3 = 14.
2 →+3 5 →+3 8 →+3 11 →+3 14
Practice
Summary
Describe the rule, check it between several terms, and apply it to predict later terms.
