What is a pattern in mathematics?

Back

A pattern is a sequence of numbers, shapes, or objects that follow a specific rule or formula.

Front

How do you extend a pattern?

Back

To extend a pattern, identify the rule that governs the pattern and apply it to predict the next elements.

Front

What is the next number in the pattern: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, _?

To identify a pattern means to recognize the rule or sequence that is being followed in a set of numbers or shapes.

Front

What is the difference between a pattern and a sequence?

Back

A pattern refers to the rule or formula, while a sequence is the actual list of numbers or shapes that follow that rule.

Front

How can you describe a pattern?

Back

You can describe a pattern by stating the rule that generates it, such as 'add 4' or 'multiply by 2'.

Front

What is the next shape in the pattern: Circle, Square, Circle, Square, _?
