Pattern
• repeated design or recurring sequence.
• an ordered set of numbers, shapes
or other mathematical objects,
arranged according to a rule.
A pattern is a group of numbers, shapes, or objects that follow a rule while repeating or changing. To extend a pattern you can use a table or a pattern rule that relates the term number to the pattern rule. A term number is the number that tells the position of an item in a pattern.
For example 2, 4, 6, 8, ...
Pattern Rule: Start at 2 and add 2 each time.
