Non-Repeating Number Patterns

The video tutorial introduces the concept of patterns in sequences, explaining both repeating and non-repeating patterns. It provides examples of number patterns, demonstrating how to identify the rule governing a sequence. The first example shows a pattern starting with 3 and adding 3, while the second example starts with 5 and adds 2. A third example illustrates a pattern starting with 90 and subtracting 4. The lesson emphasizes understanding the rule behind a pattern to generate further numbers in the sequence.

What is the next number in the sequence 3, 6, 9, 12?

• 10

• 12

• 15

• 18

Explain what a number pattern is.

• A sequence of numbers that follows a rule

• A random set of numbers

• A pattern that does not repeat

• A pattern that only includes even numbers

Describe the rule for the number pattern that starts with 5 and adds 2.

• Start with 5 and add 2

• Start with 2 and add 5

• Start with 5 and subtract 2

• Start with 2 and subtract 5

What would the first four numbers be in the pattern that starts with 90 and subtracts 4?

• 90, 86, 82, 78

• 90, 94, 98, 102

• 90, 86, 82, 76

• 90, 88, 86, 84

How can you generate a number pattern based on a given rule?

• By adding or subtracting numbers

• By multiplying numbers

• By dividing numbers

• By using random numbers
