Can you identify what the next number will be in each of these sequences?

3, 5, 7, 9, 11 ... ?

35, 30, 25, 20, 15 ... ?

How do you know your answers are correct?

This sequence is going up

in twos.3, 5, 7, 9, 11 ... 13

35, 30, 25, 20, 15 ... 10This sequence

is going down in

fives.

Spotting patterns helps us to work out what the next number or object in a sequence will be.


What is a pattern?

How would you describe what a pattern is?

What is a sequence?

How would you describe what

a sequence is?

Think, pair, then share your ideas.


A sequence is a set of numbers or objects that have been arranged in a particular order.

A pattern is when numbers or objects are repeated.

Patterns can be found in sequences.


How many objects are in the pattern

before it is repeated?

Can you identify the pattern within this

sequence?



Can you use this information to work out what the next object

in the sequence will be?

This sequence has a repeating pattern of three objects.

?


The next object in the sequence is a star. Did you get this right?

Let's identify some more repeating patterns in sequences!


Can you describe the sequence?

What will the next object in

the sequence be?

How many objects are in the repeating pattern in the sequence?

?


The next object in the sequence is a cloud.

This sequence has a repeating pattern of

four objects.

Did you correctly identify the repeating pattern and the next object? Well done!




the sequence be?

How many objects are in the repeating pattern in the sequence?

?


The next object in the sequence is a

dragonfly.


five objects.

Did you correctly identify the repeating pattern and the next object? Well done!




the sequence be?

How many objects are in the repeating pattern?

??

Can you identify what the missing object is?


??

The next object in the sequence is a

carrot.


three objects.

The missing object is broccoli.




the sequence be?

How many objects are in the repeating pattern?

?

Can you identify what the missing object is?

?


The next object in the sequence is a thumbs up sign.


four objects.

The missing object is a tick.



1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th

?... ...

Look at this sequence. What would the 12th object be? How could you work it out?


1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th

First we need to identify how many objects are in the

repeating pattern.

...and so on until we know the 12th object – a tennis ball.

We can then use this to work out the

next object in the sequence...

Did you correctly identify the 12th object? Well done!



Look at this sequence. What would the 10th object be? How could you work it out?


1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th

How confident do you feel about finding missing objects in sequences?

The 10th object would be a parrot. Did you get this right? Well done!


Now it's time for you to identify some more patterns

and continue sequences yourselves!


Plenary

The first three objects in this sequence are missing - the paper has been torn. Can you work out what they are?

Discuss your ideas with a partner, and then the class.

Plenary

The first three objects in the sequence are: a banana, some cherries and a pear.

Well done if you identified the missing objects correctly!
