Describing number patterns

1. Describing number patterns What is the simplest number pattern in the world? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . . . .(The Counting Numbers) A number pattern includes terms, placed in a certain order. Both the term number and the term value are important.

2. Describing number patterns What is the simplest number pattern in the world? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . . . .(The Counting Numbers) A number pattern includes terms, placed in a certain order. Both the term number and the term value are important. Pattern Rule: Start at 1 and add 1 each time.

3. Describing number patterns Usually the term values do not match the term numbers like they did in our first example. Sometimes, an amount will have to be added or subtracted to the term number to get the term value. Write an expression using n to represent the following pattern.

4. Describing number patterns Usually the term values do not match the term numbers like they did in our first example. Sometimes, an amount will have to be added or subtracted to the term number to get the term value. Write an expression using n to represent the following pattern. Pattern Rule: Start at 4 and add 1 each time.

6. Describing number patterns Write an expression using n to represent the following pattern.

7. Describing number patterns Write an expression using n to represent the following pattern. Pattern Rule: Start at -3 and add 1 each time.

8. Describing number patterns Write an expression using n to represent the following pattern. Pattern Rule: Start at -3 and add 1 each time.

9. Describing number patterns In the previous examples, the term values always changed by 1. This is not always the case. Sometimes the term values will change by a regular amount other than one. In these cases, we must multiply n by the amount of the change. Write an expression using n to represent the following pattern.

10. Describing number patterns In the previous examples, the term values always changed by 1. This is not always the case. Sometimes the term values will change by a regular amount other than one. In these cases, we must multiply n by the amount of the change. Write an expression using n to represent the following pattern. Pattern Rule: Start at 6 and add 6 each time.

12. Describing number patterns Write an expression using n to represent the following pattern.

13. Describing number patterns Write an expression using n to represent the following pattern. Pattern Rule: Start at -4 and subtract 4 each time.

14. Describing number patterns Write an expression using n to represent the following pattern. Pattern Rule: Start at -4 and subtract 4 each time.

15. Sometimes, the required expression will involve both multiplication and addition/subtraction. Use a 2-step approach: Find the amount by which the term values are changing. This will be the number that will multiply n. Test your expression by doing the multiplication and then seeing what amount must be added or subtracted to get the proper term values.

19. Describing number patterns Write an expression using n to represent the following pattern.

20. Describing number patterns Write an expression using n to represent the following pattern.

21. A number pattern is described by the following expression: 8n - 3 Create an equation and solve it to find the term number of the term with a value of 101. 8n - 3 = 101 8n - 3 + 3 = 101 + 3 8n = 104 = n = 13 The 13th term in the sequence is equal to 101. Describing number patterns
