LOGIC PATTERNS
This involves:
 sorting objects with different properties
 ordering objects by some property

Properties can be:

 Quantitative (measurable)
 size, length, width, time, color shade
 Qualitative (characteristics)
 color, general shape, purpose, origin

NUMBER PATTERNS
 Counting – any form of counting is a pattern because you usually know
what comes next
 1, 2, 3, ...
 3, 6, 9, 12, ...
 1, 3, 5, 7, …
 25, 50, 75, 100, …
 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, …

NUMBER PATTERNS
Functions – patterns showing how one number changes into another
Given: f (x) = x2 + 1
for x = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
Answer: f (x) = { 2, 5, 10, 17, 26 }
The answer here is the newly created number pattern which follows the rules of the
given function

 MODULE 2
15

Given: f (x) = x2 + 1
for x = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
Solution: f (1) = 12 + 1
Functions work by substituting a value of x
=1+1 in the function then compute.
=2
f (2) = 22 + 1
Do this repeatedly to each assigned value of
=4+1 x.
=5
Complete solution on next page.

16

Given: f (x) = x2 + 1
for x = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }

Solution: f (1) = 12 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2
f (2) = 22 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
f (3) = 32 + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10
f (4) = 42 + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17
f (5) = 52 + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26
Answer: f (x) = { 2, 5, 10, 17, 26 }

 MODULE 2
17

(Next) Given: f (x) = x2 – x

for x = { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 }
Solution: f (2) = 22 – 2 = 2
f (4) = 42 – 4 = 12
f (6) = 30
Use a calculator to double-check for yourself
f (8) = 56 the values that you see here.
f (10) = 90
Answer: f (x) = { 2, 12, 30, 56, 90 }

SEATWORK 2.2
B. Creating your own Pattern.

 Create a function that has a combination of at least three of the following Math
operations:
o Multiplication, addition, subtraction, fraction, square

 Use x = { 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 } to solve for f (0), f (2), f (4), …

GEOMETRIC PATTERNS
Repeating and growing patterns

Here we have a growing pattern that is outward because new elements are added, and
the general size of the figure is increasing.

Here we have also a growing pattern, but the growth is inward. The general size is
unchanging, but the new elements are added within.
