To identify patterns, you can either add or subtract. PRACTICE EXAMPLES: Can we identify the patterns below and insert the missing values? 2, 4, 6, 8, ___ = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 We keep adding 2s, therefore the missing value is 10.
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, ___ = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
We keep adding 10s, therefore the missing value is 30.
3, 6, 9, ___, ____, 18 = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
We keep adding 3s, therefore the missing values are 12 and 15.
14, 12, 10, 8, ___ = 14, 12, 10, 8, 6
We keep subtracting 2s, therefore the missing value is 6. ON YOUR OWN
