Very good!
Number Patterns
• Increasing number patterns – patterns whose
numbers are getting bigger.
• Decreasing number patterns – patterns whose
numbers are getting smaller.
Example 1:
Find the next 3 numbers in this pattern.
7, 10, 13, 16, ______, _______, _______
What have you observed, class? Yes, Amanda? Amanda: The numbers
increase by 3 from left to
right.
Very good. That’s a correct observation.
Solution:
The rule for the pattern is: “Add 3 to the previous
term to get the next number.”
So, the next three numbers are: 19, 22, 25.
Example 2:
What are the next 3 numbers in this pattern?
24, 20, 26, 12, ______, ______, ______
Let’s try to answer this example together, class. (The students are
listening attentively)
Example 3:
What are the next 3 numbers in this pattern?
1, 2, 4, 8, ______, ______, ______
What have you observed, class? Yes, Kyle? Kyle: Each number is
twice the number to its
left, teacher.
Very good. That is a correct observation.
Solution:
The rule for the pattern is: “Multiply 2 to the
previous term to get the number.”
So, the next 3 numbers are what? Yes, Christine? Christine: The next 3
numbers are 16, 32, 64,
teacher.
Very good. The answer is 16, 32, and 64.
Example 4:
What are the next 3 numbers in this pattern?
4 096, 2 048, 1 024, ______, ______, ______
Solution:
Try dividing by 2: 4,096 ÷ 2 = 2,048
The rule of the pattern is: “Divide 2 to the previous
term to get the next number.”
Are you sure? If you are, let’s do the kokak clap. (The students will do the
kokak clap.)
Since you don’t have questions, I bet you are
ready for our activities. Are you ready, class? Students: Yes, we are
ready, teacher.
E. Application Group Activity: The Pattern Battle!
Mechanics:
1. The class will be divided into five groups:
Yellow, Blue, Green, Pink, and Orange.
2. Groups must answer each question correctly
to earn points.
3. Each group will only have 20 to 30 seconds to
answer. After the time is up, they must raise their
answers.
4. Points will be awarded based on difficulty:
• Easy round: 2 points per correct answer
• Average round: 3 points per correct
answer
• Difficult round: 5 points per correct answer
5. The group with the highest score at the end of
the activity will be declared the winner and be
called “The Pattern Masters.”
(The students are
listening attentively.)
Instructions: Find the next three numbers in the
pattern. Describe the rule for the pattern.
2. The rule for the pattern is: ____________ All Groups: 23, 27, 31
