Patterns and Algebra
Formulates the rule in finding the
nth term using different strategies
(looking for a pattern, guessing
and checking, working
backwards) e.g. 4,7,13,16,…n
(the nth term is 3n+1)

Discussion
Numbers, figures, objects or
symbols arranged in a definite order
or sequence is often encountered in
mathematics.
(Discuss the content on page 214-
218 of 21st Century Mathletes.)
Discussion
The four basic operations (Addition,
Subtraction, Multiplication and division) are
commonly used in a sequence of numbers. In the
Fibonacci numbers above, you start with the first
two numbers. The succeeding numbers are the
sum of the previous two. Therefore, following
the pattern, the next three terms in the sequence
are 13, 21 & 24.
Try to find the next four patterns.
Find the rule, then, write the
missing terms.

Generalization
How do we find /
formulate the rules in
finding the next term in a
sequence?
Generalization
Determine the order of numbers if
it is ascending or descending.
Find the difference between the
consecutive terms.
To find the rule of the next term, use
the difference between terms.
