Pattern Power

Worksheet Description

This worksheet challenges students to find algebraic expressions based on numeric patterns. Each sequence of numbers follows a specific rule, and students must derive an expression, such as 7.5-0.5n, to describe the sequence. The problems focus on identifying changes between consecutive numbers and formulating an equation to represent the pattern.

This activity enhances students’ ability to recognize patterns and mathematical sequences, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By learning how to express numeric sequences algebraically, students improve their ability to generalize mathematical relationships. This worksheet helps build the foundational skills required for functions and sequences, which are key concepts in higher-level mathematics. It also sharpens their ability to observe regularities and translate them into formulas.
