Patterns and Relationships

Spotting Patterns

Patterns are all around us—on your clothes, in music, and even in the way numbers behave! Being able to spot and continue patterns helps you solve problems faster and makes math feel like a fun puzzle game.

Finding Relationships

Sometimes, numbers follow special rules or relationships. For example, in the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, the pattern is adding 2 each time. Understanding these relationships helps you predict what comes next or figure out missing pieces.

Why Patterns Matter

Recognizing patterns makes it easier to solve math problems and can even help in real life—like predicting weather, planning routines, or figuring out how many seats are needed at a party.

Examples

  • What is the next number in the sequence 5, 10, 15, 20, __?

  • If every person at a table gets 2 cookies, how many cookies do 4 people get?

In a Nutshell

Recognize number patterns and relationships to solve problems more easily.
