Complete the pattern:

  1. $16$16, $26$26, $36$36, $\editable{}$, $\editable{}$, $\editable{}$

Learn

Let's look now at how we can continue patterns to find missing numbers.

 

Apply

Complete the pattern:

  1. Start at $6$6 and add $8$8 each time.

    $6$6$,$,$\editable{}$$,$,$\editable{}$$,$,$\editable{}$$,$,$\editable{}$$,$,$\editable{}$

Remember!

To find the pattern, think about how the numbers are changing- are they getting bigger or smaller? Then you can work out the missing values.
