What Are Increasing Growth Patterns?
Patterns are everywhere in math!
An increasing growth pattern is a sequence where each step grows by a certain rule. It could be numbers getting bigger, shapes adding more parts, or objects increasing in size. Recognizing these patterns helps us predict what comes next!
How Patterns Grow
1️⃣ Start with a beginning (like 2, 4, 6...)
2️⃣ Follow a rule (add 2 each time)
3️⃣ Continue the sequence (8, 10, 12...)
Let's Explore Patterns!
Example 1: Number Patterns
Look at this pattern: 5, 10, 15, 20, __
What's the rule?
What number comes next?
Example 2: Shape Patterns
How many squares will be in the next row?
Parent Tips 🌟
- Pattern hunt: Look for growth patterns in everyday life - stairs, fence posts, or even cookie batches!
- Create patterns: Use blocks, beads, or drawings to make your own increasing patterns together.
- Guess the rule: Take turns making patterns and guessing each other's growth rules.
