Question 1.1: Identifying Patterns
Here's the completed table. Remember, a pattern means there's a discernible rule or
sequence that dictates the next number(s) in the set.
| Number set | Pattern or not a pattern | Description

|----------------------|-------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------|
| 1; 3; 5; 7; 9; … | **Pattern** | **a) Each number is obtained by adding 2 to
the previous number. (b) Arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 2.** |
| 2; 3; 4; 4; 6; 5; 8… | **Not a pattern** | **c) There is no consistent relationship.
(d) The differences between consecutive terms are inconsistent** |
| 9; 18; 729; 6569; … | **Not a Pattern** | **e) No clear mathematical
relationship. (f) Not Arithmetic, geometric.** |
| 7; 8; 10; 12; 14; … | **Pattern** | **g) Each number is obtained by adding
consecutive even numbers: +1, +2, +2, +2, etc. (h) the difference between each
number increments by one from the number before it** |
