PATTERNS AND SEQUENCES
Mathematics has been defined as the science of patterns.
Everything from art to nature to construction projects involves patterns.
A pattern has one or more repeating elements.
The numbers in the list below are the multiples of 8.
Focus on the ones place in each number.
What do you notice?
Workbook page 94
The digits in the ones place form a pattern that repeats.
Every 5 numbers, the pattern starts again:
Workbook page 94
A sequence is a pattern that is defined by a rule.
Look at the following sequence.
What do you notice?
How would you describe the sequence?
Workbook page 94
Workbook page 94
A sequence is finite if it has a limited number of terms.
A sequence is infinite if the terms go on forever.
Each number or other item in the sequence is called a term.
To talk about a sequence, you need to be able to identify a term’s position in the sequence and its value.
In the sequence 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, …50, the 3rd term is 15.
The position is 3rd; the value is 15.

Finding What Comes Next
Example: What number comes next in the sequence?
Examine the sequence, which is shown in the row of values.
What is happening from one term to the next?
Workbook page 94
Patterns and sequences can contain letters, symbols, or geometric figures.
To solve a problem with a pattern, look for something that repeats and continue the pattern.
To solve a problem with a sequence, think about what changes from one term to the next.

Continuing a Patterns with Shapes or Symbols
Example: Which choice is the next term in the pattern?
The pattern is alternating circles and squares.
The next term needs to be a square.
Choice B is correct because it is a square with three lines.
The number of lines is increasing on each pair of shapes.
The next square needs three lines.
