Recognizing Patterns and Relationships

Finding Mathematical Patterns

Patterns are everywhere in math! You might notice patterns in numbers, shapes, or equations.

Relationships in Tables and Graphs

Tables and graphs help us see how things change together (for example, how doubling one number affects another).

Why Patterns Matter

Recognizing patterns makes it easier to solve problems, predict what comes next, and understand the rules behind math.

Examples in Daily Life

Patterns can be in the sequence of locker numbers, the way a plant grows, or steps in a dance.

Examples

  • The sequence 2, 4, 6, 8 follows the rule 'add 2 each time'.

  • If you earn $5 for every hour you work, the total pay is a pattern: $5, $10, $15, $20, ...

In a Nutshell

Patterns and relationships help us make predictions and solve problems faster.
