    The document describes two tasks involving making patterns with matchsticks. Task 1 involves making individual pentagons, where the number of matchsticks increases by 5 for each additional pentagon. Task 2 involves making joined pentagons, where the number of matchsticks increases more quickly than for individual pentagons due to the connecting sticks between shapes. Tables are included to determine the term-to-term rules for the number of matchsticks in each task.
