Test questions for extending growing patterns with rules (4th grade)

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔢 A growing pattern is a sequence that increases by a consistent rule.
• ➕ The rule tells you what to add (or multiply) to get the next number.
• 🔍 To find the rule, look at the difference between consecutive numbers.
• 📈 Sometimes, the rule might involve more than one operation (e.g., multiply by 2, then add 1).
• 💡 Use the rule to extend the pattern as far as you need!
