What are number patterns?
A pattern follows a rule. In 2, 4, 6, 8 the rule is add 2. Numbers can be even (they make pairs with none left over) or odd (one is left over). Even and odd numbers take turns: 1 odd, 2 even, 3 odd, 4 even and so on.
Think of a train 🚂 where every carriage number goes up by 2: 11, 13, 15, 17 are all odd, and 20, 22, 24, 26 are all even!
Patterns to know
| Pattern | Rule | Next |
|---|---|---|
| 👫 2, 4, 6, 8 | add 2 (even) | 10 |
| ☝️ 1, 3, 5, 7 | add 2 (odd) | 9 |
| 🖐️ 5, 10, 15, 20 | add 5 | 25 |
| 🟩 1, 4, 9, 16 | add 3, 5, 7, 9… | 25 |
How to find the rule
- Look at two numbers next to each other.
- Find the gap by subtracting the smaller from the bigger.
- Check that the same gap works for the whole pattern.
- Use the rule to find the next number.
