MEMO
1.1.1

1.1.2 (a) Three tiles are added every time, two on either end and one on the horizontal row.
Hence for the 17th figure you add 13 times 3 tiles on the 14 tiles of the 4th figure.
Hence 14 + (13x3) = 53 tiles. (Any explanation that gives the right answer) 2

(b) Number of tiles = (pattern number x 3) + 2

= (23 x 3) + 2 = 71 1

(c) x3 + 2 √ 1

(d) Number of tiles = (50 x 3) + 2

=152√ 1

Term 3 10 17 24 31 45 66

b) Multiply position number by 7 and subtract 4 2

c) T = (7 x n) - 4√√, T = term, and n the position 2

d) T = (7 x n) – 4
= (75 x 7) - 4√
= 521√ 2

g) Constant difference – add or subtract the same number

Constant ratio – multiply or divide the same number 2

h) Number pattern: 5;13;21;… Constant difference = +8 2
