Numerical pattern rules quiz for Grade 4 students

🔢 Quick Study Guide

• ➕ Addition Patterns: A sequence where each number is found by adding a constant value to the previous number. Example: 2, 4, 6, 8... (add 2 each time).
• ➖ Subtraction Patterns: A sequence where each number is found by subtracting a constant value from the previous number. Example: 10, 8, 6, 4... (subtract 2 each time).
• ✖️ Multiplication Patterns: A sequence where each number is found by multiplying the previous number by a constant value. Example: 1, 2, 4, 8... (multiply by 2 each time).
• ➗ Division Patterns: A sequence where each number is found by dividing the previous number by a constant value. Example: 16, 8, 4, 2... (divide by 2 each time).
• 🧮 Identifying Patterns: Look for the relationship between consecutive numbers. Is it addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division?
• 💡 Rule Representation: Express the pattern rule in words or as a simple equation. For example, 'add 5' or '$x + 5$'.
• 📝 Extending Patterns: Use the identified rule to find the next numbers in the sequence.
