+1 +2 +3 +4 +5
(b) 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 17, ...
(c) 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ...
(1 × 1) (2 × 2) (3 × 3) (4 × 4) (5 × 5) (6 × 6)

(d) 2nd term: 2 × 2 + 1 = 5


3rd term: 5 × 2 + 1 = 11
4th term: 11 × 2 + 1 = 23
5th term: 23 × 2 + 1 = 47
6th term: 47 × 2 + 1 = 95
2, 5, 11, 23, 47, 95, ...

2 Look at each pattern carefully and find the missing number.


5 6 7

7 1 ?
4 2 3 8 4 3

Solution: 4 + 5 = 9 = 7 + 2
3+6=9=1+8
7 + 4 = 11 = ? + 3

3 Look at each number pattern and find the unknown numbers.
(a) 12 3 8 3 14 4 16 2
10 5 6 5 A 6 8 B
(b) 13 4 12 5 18 8 22 3
7 2 3 4 C 4 12 D

Solution:
(a) 12 + 3 = 15 = 10 + 5
8 + 3 = 11 = 6 + 5
14 + 4 = 18 = A + 6 16 + 2 = 18 = 8 + B
A = 18 – 6 = 12 B = 18 – 8 = 10
(b) 7 + 4 = 11 = 13 – 2
3 + 5 = 8 = 12 – 4
18 – 4 = 14 = C + 8 12 + 3 = 15 = 22 – D
C = 14 – 8 = 6 D = 22 – 15 = 7

4 Look at each number pattern and find the unknown numbers.


(a) 2 2 8 (b) 6 4 4
3 2 10 8 3 10
5 3 A 10 3 B
Solution:
(a) 2+2=4 4×2=8
3+2=5 5 × 2 = 10
5+3=8 8×2=A A = 16
(b) 6 – 4 = 2 2×2=4
8–3=5 5 × 2 = 10
10 – 3 = 7 7×2=B B = 14
