WHAT IS A PATTERN?
A pattern is an ordered set of numbers, shapes or
other mathematical objects arranged according to a
rule.
NUMBER PATTERNS
Definition:
A number pattern is a sequence of
numbers that follows a specific rule
i.e.
 Repeating
 Growing
Examples:
 Growing Numbers
 Skip Counting
2,4,6,8,10,……..
5,10,15,20,25,…….
 Repeating Numbers
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4……
 Repeating and Growing
GEOMETRIC PATTERNS
Definition:
A pattern that uses shapes or
letters that follows a specific
rule i.e.
Repeating patterns
Examples:
 Growing Numbers
NUMBER PATTERN
Observe the patterns and complete the following:
1 × 8 + 1 = 9
12 × 8 + 2 = 98
123× 8 + 3 = 987
1234 × 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 × 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 × 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 × 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 × 8 + 8 = 98765432
NUMBER PATTERN
Find the sum of Consecutive Numbers:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = ……….
Solution::
8 + 0 = 8
1 + 7 = 8
2 + 6 = 8 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8
3 + 5 = 8
4 + 0 = 4
Adding them all we can write
4 × 8 + 4= 32 + 4 = 36
WHAT IS A PATTERN?
Complete the following Pattern:
12345679 × 27 = 333333333
12345679 × 36 = 444444444
12345679 × 45 = 555555555
12345679 × 54 = 666666666
12345679 × 63 = 777777777
12345679 × 72 = 888888888
12345679 × 81 = 999999999
A little bug ate 135 flies in 5 days. Each day, it ate 10 more flies
than it did on the previous day. How many flies had the bug eaten
(A) After 3 days? (B) After 4 days?
Solution: Let the number of bugs eaten on 1st day be x
The number of bugs eaten on 2nd day = x+10
The number of bugs eaten on 3rd day = x+10+10 = x+20
The number of bugs eaten on 4th day = x+10+10+10 = x+30
The number of bugs eaten on 5th day = x+10+10+10+10 = x+40
Total bugs eaten = x +(x+10)+ (x+20)+ (x+30)+ (x+40)= 135
5x+ 100=135
5x=135-100
5x=35
x=35÷5=7
So, Bugs eaten after 3 days = 27 bugs
Bugs eaten after 4 days = 37 bugs
