Number Patterns

Description

This example demonstrates two number patterns with Pattern 1 having y-values increasing by 1, while Pattern 2 has y-values increasing by 3. The image includes tables showing x and y values along with a graph that visually represents these changes.

Analyzing number patterns is a crucial skill in mathematics as it helps students identify relationships and make predictions. This collection of examples presents various linear patterns, enabling students to compare different rates of change and their graphical representations.

Providing multiple worked-out examples is essential for students to fully grasp the concept of number patterns. By examining diverse scenarios, students can recognize common features and differences, enhancing their understanding and ability to apply these concepts to new situations.

Teacher Script: Let's examine these two patterns carefully. How do the values change in each table? Can you describe the relationship between x and y in Pattern 1? How does this compare to Pattern 2? Look at the graph - what do you observe about the steepness of each line? This comparison will help you understand how different rates of change appear both numerically and graphically.
