BASIC COMPETENCE
01 Generalize the term of number
sequence and object configuration
sequence

Solving problem involving general term

02 of number sequence and object
configuration sequence
INTRODUCTION
• Do you remember the formula to find the area of square,
rectangle or other shape?
• Can you find any pattern in our daily life?

+++
OBSERVATION 1
Consider the first three figures of a sequence number
formed by matches as shown below!

4 7 10
Can you draw the next figure of the sequence ? YES !!
Calculate the number of matches in each figure and write down
the rule, how to create the next figure? Added by 3 matches
+++
PATTER OF NUMBER
Based the previous observation, we have:
4, 7, 10, 13, …

Consider these number sequences and write down

the next two terms.
• 1, 3, 5, 7, ... → 9, 11 • 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ..., ...→ 34, 55
• 2, 4, 6, 8, ... → 10, 12 • 3, 3, 7, 5, 11, 7, 15, 9, ..., ...→ 19, 11
• 1, 3, 6, 10, .... → 15, 21 • 1x2, 2x3, 3x4, 4x5, ..., ... → 5x6, 6x7

+++
DEFINITION
The previous examples show that we can determine
the next term of any number sequence.
The definition of number pattern is an arrangement
of numbers which follow a certain rule.

• 1, 3, 5, 7, ...
The first term : U1 = 1
The second term : U2 = 3

EXAMPLE1
Find 11th term of square Calculate the sum of the first
number! 17 odd numbers.
Answer: Answer:
The formula of nth term of 1+3+5+...+33=
square number is
then
17 numbers

+++
EXAMPLE 2
Determine the sum of the first 20 terms of the following series
2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + ...
Answer:
+ =
+=
=
=
