Number Patterns

A number pattern is a sequence of numbers that follow a specific rule or order: 

• Arithmetic sequences

• A list of numbers where a constant amount is added or subtracted each time. For example, the sequence 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, ... is an arithmetic sequence because the difference between each number is 3. 

• Geometric patterns

• A sequence of numbers where the next term is found by performing a specific operation on the previous term. For example, in the geometric pattern 120, 60, __, 15, __, the next term is found by dividing the previous term by 2. 

• Consecutive prime numbers

• A sequence of numbers where each number is a prime number. For example, the sequence 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, ... is a sequence of consecutive prime numbers. 

• Descending patterns

• A sequence of numbers where the numbers get smaller as the sequence continues. 

Number patterns can be represented on a number line or with dots arranged in geometric shapes. 

Number patterns have many applications, including in financial calculations, cryptography, and computer science. 

Number patterns are groups of numbers that follow rules. They can use input/output tables to create sequences. Two types of sequences are arithmetic and geometric. An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers where the same amount is either being added or subtracted every time.

Here's more about number patterns

Number patterns refer to sequences or arrangements of numbers that follow a specific rule or formula. These patterns can be observed in various areas, such as mathematics, science, and everyday life. Examples of number patterns include arithmetic sequences, geometric sequences, and Fibonacci sequences. Recognizing number patterns can help with problem-solving, memory aid, and understanding mathematical concepts. It can also be applied to real-world situations, like analyzing population growth, financial trends, or even the arrangement of objects in a sequence. Identifying and understanding number patterns can be a valuable skill in mathematics and beyond.
