Ptterns nd functions recursive numer ptterns Look round you, cn you see pttern? A pttern is n rrngement of shpes, numers or ojects formed ccording to rule. Ptterns re everywhere, you cn find them in nture, rt, music nd even in dnce! In this topic, we re looking t numer ptterns. A numer pttern is sequence or list of numers tht is formed ccording to rule. Numer ptterns cn use ny of the four opertions (+,,, ) or even comintion. In the exmple elow, if we follow this instruction: strting t 1 dd 5 ech time we get this numer pttern: 1 11 1 1 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 1 Write the next numers in ech sequence y following the rule: Rule: dd 5 11 17 9 Rule: sutrct 10 100 90 80 70 0 c Rule: multiply y 8 1 5 50 Figure out the missing numers in ech pttern nd write the rule.

Ptterns nd functions recursive numer ptterns Some numer ptterns cn e formed with opertions ech time. For exmple: + 7 + 17 + 7 The rule is multiply y nd dd ech time. With these numer ptterns, write the rule s opertions in the dimond shpes nd descrie it underneth. 1 + + 10 + The rule is + + 1 7 + 1 + 1 7 The rule is + 1 5 Len nd Mx were sked to show numer pttern for different rules. Check ech sequence nd put circle round ny errors. You my use clcultor. Strt t, dd 1 nd multiply y No errors.

Ptterns nd functions function numer ptterns There re different types of rules tht numer pttern cn e sed upon: 1 A recursive rule used to continue the sequence y doing something to the numer efore it. A function rule used to predict ny numer y pplying the rule to the position of the numer. A function rule is rule sed on the position of numer. Consider this. Luci ws given this numer pttern: 5 10 15 0 5 Her techer sked her to work out wht the 0th numer would e without continuing the sequence. Luci used tle to work out the rule etween the position of numer nd the numer in the pttern. She worked out the rule to e 5. Position of numer 1 5 0 Function rule 5 5 5 5 5 5 Numer pttern 5 10 15 0 5 100 So, following the rule sed on the position of numer, the 0th numer is 100. This is function rule. 1 Use the function rule nd then pply the rule to position 0. Position of numer 1 5 0 Function rule Numer pttern 1 18 0 10 Position of numer 1 5 0 Function rule Numer pttern 8 1 1 0 80 HINT: In the lst pttern, the rule hs opertions. c Position of numer 1 5 0 Function rule 8 8 8 8 8 8 Numer pttern 8 1 0 10 d Position of numer 1 5 0 Function rule + + + + + + Numer pttern 7 11 15 19 8 F 1

Ptterns nd functions mtchstick ptterns Use the function rule to predict geometric ptterns with mtchsticks. Here is n exmple. Mi mde this sequence of shpes with mtchsticks: Shpe 1 Shpe Shpe Shpe If Mi followed this sequence, how mny mtchsticks will she need for shpe 0? Shpe numer 1 5 0 Numer of mtchsticks 9 1 15 0 Function rule Numer of mtchsticks = Shpe numer 1 Complete the tle for ech sequence of mtchstick shpes. Use the function rule for finding the numer of mtchsticks needed for the shpe in the 0th position. Shpe 1 Shpe Shpe Shpe numer 1 5 0 Numer of mtchsticks 8 1 1 0 80 Function rule Numer of mtchsticks = Shpe numer Shpe 1 Shpe Shpe Shpe numer 1 5 0 Numer of mtchsticks 1 18 0 10 Function rule Numer of mtchsticks = Shpe numer c Shpe 1 Shpe Shpe Shpe numer 1 5 0 Numer of mtchsticks 7 1 1 8 5 10 Function rule Numer of mtchsticks = Shpe numer 7 F 1 5
Ptterns nd functions mtchstick ptterns This time the rule for this mtchstick pttern hs opertions. Cn you see why? Look for multipliction pttern nd how mny extr there re in ech shpe. Look for repeting element. Shpe 1 Shpe Shpe Then look to see wht is dded. These re circled in the sequence elow. Shpe 1 hs mtchsticks 1 + 1 = Shpe hs 5 mtchsticks + 1 = 5 Shpe hs 7 mtchsticks + 1 = 7 Shpe numer 1 5 0 Numer of mtchsticks 5 7 9 11 1 Function rule Numer of mtchsticks = Shpe numer + 1 In ech of these ptterns, look for the repeting element nd then wht is dded ech time: Shpe 1 Shpe Shpe Shpe numer 1 5 0 Numer of mtchsticks 7 10 1 1 1 Function rule Numer of mtchsticks = Shpe numer + 1 Shpe 1 Shpe Shpe Shpe numer 1 5 0 Numer of mtchsticks 11 1 1 101 Function rule Numer of mtchsticks = Shpe numer 5 + 1 c Shpe 1 Shpe Shpe Shpe numer 1 5 0 Numer of mtchsticks 7 10 1 1 1 Function rule Numer of mtchsticks = Shpe numer + 1 F 1
