Patterns and relationships help us see how numbers change and predict what comes next.
Look for a rule:
Is it adding?
Multiplying?
Changing in steps?
Pattern: 5, 10, 15, 20…
This is a pattern of adding 5 each time.
Relationship example:
If x = number of boxes, and each box holds 6 pencils,
Then: Total pencils = 6 × x
Recognizing patterns and writing rules helps with algebra, problem solving, and even predicting outcomes in everyday life.
