Task Sorting Activity
By Emily Badala
For this task sorting activity, my students will work
collaboratively to generate a number pattern that follows a given rule.
In this activity, students will have to generate the missing numbers
from a pattern by identifying apparent features of the pattern that may
or may not have been explicit in the rule itself.
Part A: Identify the missing numbers in a table provided
Part B: Use the table to determine the rule
Part C: Use the rule to determine different numbers in the sequence
Part A:
Directions: Given the table below, determine the missing numbers.
X
1
Y
6
2
3
4
12
14
16
Part B: Using the table above, determine the rule for n.
Part C: Using the rule from above, find the value of y for the following
values of x.
X= 12
X= 28
X= 103
