5. Pattern increases by odd numbers each time.

Activity 2: Sequences with Squares

1. 1, 4, 9, 16, 25
2. Differences: 3, 5, 7, 9
3. 36, 49
4. Example: 64, 81, 100
5. Square numbers increase by odd numbers.

Activity 3: Flow Diagram Basics (Rule: ×2 +1)

1. 7
2. 11
3. 6 (Reverse: (13 - 1) ÷ 2)
4. Rule: Double the number and add 1
5. 21

Activity 4: Patterns in Tables

1. Depends on pattern – assuming ×2: 10


2. Rule: Multiply by 2
3. 12
4. 7
5. Output = Input × 2

Activity 5: Pattern from Shapes (e.g. triangles)

1. 12
2. 21
3. Rule: Multiply number of triangles by 3
4. Number sentence: Sides = Triangles × 3
5. Each triangle has 3 sides

Activity 6: Create Your Own Sequence


1. Example: Start with 4, add 3: 4, 7, 10, 13, 16
2. First five terms: See above
3. Rule: Add 3
4. Table: Inputs 1–5; Outputs: 4, 7, 10, 13, 16
5. Pattern: Adding the same number repeatedly

Activity 7: Input/Output Table Practice (Rule: ×2 +1)

1. 11
2. Rule: Multiply by 2, add 1
3. Number sentence: Output = Input × 2 + 1
4. 7
5. Pattern: Double the number, then add 1

Activity 8: Equivalent Rules

1. Rule A: 2×3 - 1 = 5, Rule B: (2+5)×2 = 14


2. Rule A: 14, Rule B: 20
3. Not equivalent – give different outputs
4. Rule A: 3×10 - 1 = 29, Rule B: (10+5)×2 = 30
5. Rule B grows faster

Activity 9: Patterns with Multiples

1. 4, 8, 12, 16, 20
2. Difference: +4
3. Rule: Add 4 each time
4. Table: Inputs 1–5 → Outputs: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20
5. Sentence: Each output is 4 times the input

Activity 10: Decreasing Pattern

1. Pattern: Subtract 10, 9, 8...


2. 66, 59
3. Rule: Subtracting decreasing numbers
4. Flow: Input - (pattern step)
5. Observed difference reduces by 1

Activity 11: Number Sentence Translation

1. (3 + 4) × 2 = 14
2. (6 + 4) × 2 = 20
3. 18 ÷ 2 = 9, 9 - 4 = 5
4. Rule: Add 4 then multiply by 2
5. Example: Rule: +5 then ×3 → (2+5)×3 = 21

Activity 12: Non-Constant Patterns

1. Differences: +1, +2, +3, +4...


2. Next numbers: 16, 22

1. 15, 20, 25, 30, 35


2. Table: 1 → 15, 2 → 20, ...
3. Sentence: Output = Input × 5
4. Flow diagram: Input → ×5 → Output
5. Each input is multiplied by 5

Activity 15: Flow Diagram Reversal (×4 - 2)

1. (5×4)-2 = 18
2. (18+2) ÷ 4 = 5
3. Rule: Multiply by 4, subtract 2
4. Table: Inputs 1–5 → Outputs: 2, 6, 10, 14, 18
5. No – ×3 + 2 gives different result

Activity 16: Creative Rule Making (e.g. ×2 +3)

1. Rule: ×2 +3
2. Inputs: 1→5, 2→7, 3→9, 4→11, 5→13
3. Table: See above
4. Flow: Input → ×2 → +3 → Output
5. Verbal: Double the input then add 3

1. Rule: Double each term


2. Next terms: 32, 64
3. Multiplicative
4. Each term = previous ×2
5. New pattern: 3, 6, 12, 24...

1. Square numbers
2. Table: Inputs 1–5 → Outputs: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25
3. Rule: Output = Input × Input
4. Flow: Input → ×Self → Output
5. Pattern: Each output is a square of the input
