1.1 Patterns
What patterns
do you see?
Ans: The
patterns
seen are
repetitions
Patterns are list of numbers or
objects arranged based on a
rule or design.
Example 1: Draw the next object. State its pattern.
Solution:
Solution:
Pascal’s
Triangle
+2 +2 +2 +2 Pattern: Add 2 to
the previous
16 20 number.
-2 -2 -2 -2 -2 Pattern: Subtract
Example 2: Determine the pattern for the following.
2 to the previous
29 23
(a) Even numbers
÷𝟒 ÷𝟒 Pattern: Divide 4
Example 2: Determine the pattern for the following (cont.)
(c) 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, …
to the previous
2, 4, 8,16, 32, 64, …
number.
(d) 256, 64, 16, …

Fibonacci Sequence
Real-life examples of the
The Fibonac Fibonacci sequence include:
ci sequence • Petal arrangements in flow
is often used ers
to describe • Honeycomb construction b
y bees
growth an • Growth and division of tre
d division e branches
patterns in • Shell structure
Answer:
Answer:
1.2 Sequences
• A sequence is a string of numbers or
objects that follow a particular
pattern. Each element of a sequence is
called a term of the sequence.
+4+4 +4 +4 +4
Pattern: Add 4. So
the set of numbers is
a sequence.
+2 -1 +2 +3
Pattern: None. So
Example 1: Determine whether each set of numbers is a sequence.

1.3 Patterns and Sequences
Example 1: Describe the pattern for the sequence
1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36,… by using words, numbers
and algebraic expressions.
Solution:
1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36,…
a) Words
Pattern: Add 7 to the previous number.
(b) Numbers
Pattern: The pattern is + 7
(c) Algebraic Expressions
1 = 1 + 7 (0)
8 = 1 + 7 (1)
1, 8, 15, 22, 29,
15= 1 + 7 (2)
36,…
22 = 1 + 7 (3)
29 = 1 + 7 (4)
36 = 1 + 7 (5)
=1+7
The pattern is 1 + 7, = 0, 1,
1.3 Patterns and Sequences
Example 2: State the pattern of the number
sequence 3, 6, 9, 12, … using words, numbers and
algebraic expressions.
Solution:
3, 6, 9, 12, …
(a) Pattern:
Words Add 3 to the previous
number.
(b) Numbers
Pattern: The pattern is + 3
(c) Algebraic Expressions
3 = 3 + 3 (0)
6 = 3 + 3 (1) 3, 6, 9, 12, …
9= 3 + 3 (2)
12 = 3 + 3 (3)
=3+3
The pattern is 3 + 3, = 0, 1, 2,
3, …

Calculate the ninth term for the number
sequences below.
