In Looking for Patterns, we discovered that if a sequence of numbers increase or decrease by a regular amount, we can describe this as a number pattern. So far, we've only looked at numbers that increase or decrease by a whole number. Now we are going to build on that knowledge and find patterns with fractions and decimals as well.
Let's start by watching a video.
Complete the pattern.
$\frac{1}{10}$110 | $\frac{2}{10}$210 | $\frac{3}{10}$310 | $\editable{}$ | $\editable{}$ | $\editable{}$ |
Complete the pattern.
$4.2$4.2 | $4.0$4.0 | $3.8$3.8 | $\editable{}$ | $\editable{}$ | $\editable{}$ |
Complete the pattern.
$\frac{1}{10}$110 | $\frac{2}{10}$210 | $\frac{3}{10}$310 | $\editable{}$ | $\editable{}$ | $\editable{}$ |
What is the rule for finding the next number in the pattern?
Subtract $\frac{1}{10}$110
Add $1$1
Add $\frac{1}{10}$110
Subtract $1$1
