Lesson

Let's bring together everything we've seen so far about patterns. We can now:

Create a pattern from a description of a pattern
Describe a pattern from a list of numbers
Continue a pattern from an incomplete list of numbers

Watch the video below to see each of these in action!

Now that we've covered patterns, try as many problems as you can!

$2$2, $4$4, $6$6, $8$8, $10$10, $12$12, $\editable{}$

Example 2
