Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to graph the given patterns. Show all your work where applicable.

1. Consider the pattern: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10...

a) What is the rule for this pattern?

b) Create a table of values for the first 5 terms of the pattern (Term Number vs. Value).

c) Graph the pattern on the coordinate plane below. Label your axes.

2. Complete the sentences below:

a) A pattern that forms a straight line when graphed is called a pattern.

b) If the difference between consecutive terms is constant, the pattern is .

c) A pattern that does not form a straight line when graphed is called a pattern.

3. Consider the pattern: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25...

a) What is the rule for this pattern?

b) Create a table of values for the first 5 terms of the pattern (Term Number vs. Value).

c) Graph the pattern on the coordinate plane below. Label your axes.

4. Which of the following equations represents a linear pattern?

y = x²

y = 2x + 1

y = 2ˣ

y = 1/x

5. True or False: All patterns when graphed will form a straight line.

True

False

6. A plant grows 3 cm each day. If it was 5 cm tall when you started observing it, write an equation to represent its height (h) after 'd' days. Then, create a table of values and graph its growth for the first 4 days.
