Patterns and relationships resources

Students describe a functional rule for two spatial patterns.

Students identify missing numbers and the rule for a growing number pattern.

Students complete number sequences, and identify different rules for sequences that begin with the same numbers.

This task requires students to interpret the relationship between noise level and time as illustrated by various points on a graph.

Students interpret a graph about getting to school, writing descriptions about each students journey and making statements comparing the journeys.

In this task students continue a triangular shape pattern with sticks to explore the rule used in the pattern. Students then use their understanding of the pattern rule to continue the pattern without the sticks.

Students select the correct equation to describe a series of graphs.

Students create three different sequential patterns using 12 squares or triangles.

In this practical task, students construct pyramid patterns using triangles. They then predict how many triangles would be needed for the next size pyramid and explain their rule.

Student fills in spaces and draw diagrams to identify the next two triangular numbers. They also state the rule for the pattern.

Students complete mapping diagrams showing relationships, then list the ordered pairs.

Students complete number pairs, and write the equations for three 'number machines'.

Students draw in the next two shapes in a spatial pattern, complete a table and rules about the pattern, then calculate the number of triangles in the 8th shape.

Students complete rules for number patterns generated using a calculator.

Students complete two number patterns and write down a rule for each.

Students use given numbers to work out rules for number machines.

Students answer two questions about exercise times for an incrementing fitness programme. They identify an expression relating time exercised to the number of weeks on the programme, and explain why this pattern couldn't continue indefinitely.

Students interpret graphs showing the different ways that four people run a race.

For this NEMP task students complete a series of number patterns.

Students identify the number of dots in the <i>n</i>th shape of a series of spatial patterns.

Students respond to questions about the relationship between diagonals, triangles and polygons; then write a rule to describe the pattern.

Students interpret a line graph of the weight of a baby over 12 weeks and answer questions about weight, forecasting and the rate of change.

Students complete a table to solve a number pattern increasing by a factor of five.

Students identify the rule for continuing number patterns then develop their own pattern and write it as a rule.

For this NEMP task students complete a table for a linear equation about fuel consumption.
