Geometric Pattern
A sequence of numbers that are based on multiplication and division is known as a
geometric pattern. If we are given two or more numbers in the sequence, we can easily
find the unknown numbers in the pattern using multiplication and division operations.
YOUR TITLE
How many tiles are added with each new pattern? (4 tiles)
Let’s develop a rule for this pattern that will help us work out the number of tiles without
needing to draw and then count the tiles.

What do we do to the 1 to change it into a 4?
(Multiply 1 by 4. Learners might say: 1 + 3. This is also correct, but learners will soon
see that it won’t give a rule that works for all input-output numbers pairs).
Use the information from the pattern diagrams and the flow diagram to
complete this table.
