4.02 Complete a table

Lesson

Are you ready?

Can you continue this pattern?

Complete the pattern by subtracting $6$6 each time:

  1. $37$37, $31$31, $25$25, $\editable{}$, $\editable{}$, $\editable{}$

Learn

You may not have realized but patterns have a rule that you follow to work out the next number. Let's look at how to find rules to complete a pattern in a table.

Apply

Complete the table by filling in the missing values:

  1. Rule:  IN + $6$6
    IN OUT
    $11$11 $17$17
    $\editable{}$ $18$18
    $13$13 $19$19
    $14$14 $\editable{}$

 

Remember!

Think about how the numbers are changing to work out the rule. Are the numbers getting bigger or smaller, and by how many?

Outcomes
