Students use matchsticks to continue a triangular spatial pattern and write a rule to describe the number needed for each pattern. They then complete a table and a rule to show the relationship between the number of triangles and the number of matchsticks.

This resource is about students continuing linear or quadratic spatial patterns, and giving rules for them.

Students complete a spatial sequential pattern, record the pattern in a table, and complete a statement about the pattern's rule.

Students complete equations that give the rule for the general term for a number of spatial patterns.

Students continue two number patterns of diamonds in a sequential pattern, state the general rule for the number sequences and use the rule to find the pattern number with a given number of diamonds.

Students complete a table then describe and write a rule to work out the number of matchsticks needed to make alien shape patterns.
