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.
