• We will go over pattern sequences next

​Introduction to Pattern Sequences

• Pattern Sequencing is when a list of numbers increases or decreases depending on a certain rule.

• The pattern or "rule" will stay the same throughout the entire list (sequence)

• For example. What should the next number be: 4, 7, ?

  • Hint: What is 7 - 4?

​Why is this important?

• Pattern sequencing is important for improving your problem-solving skills, a fundamental life skill.

• It trains your brain to make predictions and identify patterns

  • These are both skills you'll need for not only math but also in life.

• Gives you practice with basic math functions
