Kashef 🌟 Numeric Patterns!

Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋

I'm Kashef and today we're exploring Numeric Patterns! These are number sequences that follow a secret rule. When you discover the rule, you can predict what comes next — just like a math detective! Ready to crack some number codes? Let’s go! 🚀

🧠 What is a Numeric Pattern?

A list of numbers that increases or decreases by following the same rule every time.

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, __

Rule: Add 3 each time → Next is 18

✍️ Different Numeric Patterns

Adding Pattern: 5, 10, 15, 20, __

25 (add 5)

Subtracting Pattern: 40, 35, 30, 25, __

20 (subtract 5)

Multiplying Pattern: 2, 4, 8, 16, __

32 (multiply by 2)

🎯 Let’s Find the Rule & Continue!

1. 7, 14, 21, 28, __

35 (add 7)

2. 100, 90, 80, 70, __

60 (subtract 10)

3. Challenge: 1, 4, 9, 16, __

25 (square numbers!)

🛒 Real-Life Numeric Patterns

Problem 1: You save $8 every week. After week 1 you have $8, week 2 $16, week 3 $24. How much after week 6?

$48

Problem 2: A plant grows 5 cm every week. It is 12 cm tall now. How tall after 4 more weeks?

12 + (5 × 4) = 32 cm
