Growing Patterns Check-in

Track how the number of tiles changes from one term to the next. Use your table or a drawing to explain your thinking.

A garden path pattern

A garden path uses tiles. Term 1 has 5 tiles, Term 2 has 9 tiles and Term 3 has 13 tiles.

1.What are the two changing quantities in this pattern?

Term number: 1

Term number: 2

Term number: 3

Term number: 4

Term number: 5

Tiles: 5

Tiles: 9

Tiles: 13

Tiles: ______

2.Describe in words how the tile total changes each time the term number increases by 1.

3.How many tiles are in Term 9? Show or explain a method that would let someone check your answer.

Make and check a rule

Create a different growing pattern using two changing quantities. Choose a pattern that increases by the same amount each term.

4.Invent a growing pattern. Name its two variables, list the values for Terms 1–4, and describe the rule in words. (There is no single answer.)

5.For your pattern, write a number sentence or rule that can be used to find the quantity at any term. Test it with Terms 1 and 4.

6.Which part of working with growing patterns do you feel most confident about? Explain briefly.

7.What would you like to practise more when working with growing patterns?
