Number Patterns, Part I: Find a Rule Look at the first two numbers in the pattern: 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 Ask: Are the numbers increasing or decreasing? Ask: How much more or how much less is each number than the previous number? Ask: Does the rule apply to all of the numbers in the pattern? Find the rule for each pattern: 30, 25, 20, 15, 10 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, 32

Number Patterns, Part 1: Find a Rule Look at the first two numbers in the pattern: 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 Ask: Are the numbers increasing or decreasing? increasing Ask: How much more or how much less is each number than the previous number? 3 more Ask: Does the rule apply to all of the numbers in the pattern? 12 15 18 21 24 each number is 3 more than the previous number — YES. Find the rule for each pattern: 30, 25, 20, 15, 10 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, 32 each number is 5 less than the previous number each number is 6 more than the previous number

Number Patterns, Part 2: Find Missing Numbers and Solve Problems Find the rule. Use the rule to find a missing number or solve a problem. Find the missing number in each pattern: 22, 26, , 34, 38, 42 52, 49, 46, 43, 40, __ Solve the problem: Angie earns the same amount of money each week for feeding her cat. How much money will Angie earn in 6 weeks?

Number Patterns, Part 2: Find Missing Numbers and Solve Problems Find the rule. Use the rule to find a missing number or solve a problem. Find the missing number in each pattern: 22, 26, , 34, 38, 42 52, 49, 46, 43, 40, add 4 to the previous number — 30 subtract 3 from the previous number — 37 Solve the problem: Angie earns the same amount of money each week for feeding her cat. How much money will Angie earn in 6 weeks? $12
