Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to complete the patterns and graph the points.
1. Identify the rule for the pattern and fill in the next three numbers: 3, 6, 9, 12, , ,
2. Identify the rule for the pattern and fill in the next three numbers: 20, 18, 16, 14, , ,
3. Identify the rule for the pattern and fill in the next three numbers: 5, 10, 15, 20, , ,
For each pattern, write the first 5 ordered pairs (x, y) where x is the position in the pattern and y is the value.
4. Pattern: Start at 1, add 2 each time. (1, ), (2, ), (3, ), (4, ), (5, )
5. Pattern: Start at 10, subtract 1 each time. (1, ), (2, ), (3, ), (4, ), (5, )
6. Plot the ordered pairs from Question 4 on the coordinate plane below.
7. Plot the ordered pairs from Question 5 on the coordinate plane below.
8. Look at the graph below. Which rule describes the pattern shown? (1,2), (2,4), (3,6), (4,8)
Start at 2, add 1
Start at 1, add 2
Multiply by 2
Subtract 2
