nders. Each pattern increases by 2 dots (the term-to-term rule is ‘add 2’), so the nth term will start with 2n. The
number of dots in the patterns is 4, 6, 8, 10, and 2 × 1 + 2 = 4, 2 × 2 + 2 = 6, 2 × 3 + 2 = 8, 2 × 4 + 2 = 10.

5 The sequence increases by 2 each time, so should include a 2n term, not a 5n term.
6 Yes. The number of squares increases by 4 each time (term-to-term rule is ‘add 4’), so the nth term will
start with 4n. The number of squares in the patterns is: 1, 5, 9, 13 and 4 × 1 − 3 = 1, 4 × 2 − 3 = 5,
4 × 3 − 3 = 9, 4 × 4 − 3 = 13.
7 Mia. Each pattern increases by three dots (term-to-term rule is ‘add 3’), so the nth term will start with 3n. The
numbers of dots in the patterns are: 6, 9, 12, 15 and 3 × 1 + 3 = 6, 3 × 2 + 3 = 9, 3 × 3 + 3 = 12, 3 × 4 + 3 = 15.
