Answer: 2, 6, 18, 54, 162.

Exercise 4 – Find the rule

$12 – 7 = 5$, $17 – 12 = 5$, $22 – 17 = 5$. The rule is add 5.

$22 + 5 = 27$ and $27 + 5 = 32$.

The completed pattern.

Answer: add 5; 27 and 32.

The completed table.

Answer: 12, 14, 17, 19, 23.

Exercise 7 – Multiply by 4 table

$2 \times 4 = 8$, $3 \times 4 = 12$, $5 \times 4 = 20$, $6 \times 4 = 24$, $9 \times 4 = 36$.

Answer: 8, 12, 20, 24, 36.

Exercise 8 – Rule from a table

$7 – 2 = 5$, $9 – 4 = 5$, $11 – 6 = 5$, $13 – 8 = 5$. Each output is 5 more than its input.

Answer: add 5.

Exercise 9 – All odd numbers

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11.

Every term is odd. Adding 2 (an even number) to an odd number gives an odd number.

Answer: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11; all terms are odd.

Exercise 10 – Odd and even take turns

3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28.

Odd, even, odd, even, odd, even. Adding 5 (an odd number) switches odd to even and even to odd.

Answer: 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28; the terms alternate odd, even.

Exercises 11 and up

Exercise 11 – All even numbers

4, 10, 16, 22, 28, 34.

All are even. Adding 6, an even number, to an even number gives an even number.

Answer: 4, 10, 16, 22, 28, 34; all even.

Exercise 12 – Doubling pattern

$6 \times 2 = 12$, $12 \times 2 = 24$, $24 \times 2 = 48$, $48 \times 2 = 96$.

Terms: 6, 12, 24, 48, 96. The last digits are 6, 2, 4, 8, 6. All terms are even.

Answer: 6, 12, 24, 48, 96; all even, last digits 6, 2, 4, 8, 6.

Exercise 13 – Toothpick squares

4, 7, 10 increases by 3 each time. The rule is start at 4, add 3.

Key facts behind this grade 4 patterns answers

Key facts

A pattern rule gives a starting number and an operation to repeat.
Each number in a pattern is called a term.
Adding an odd number makes terms alternate odd and even; adding an even number keeps them all odd or all even.
In an input-output table, the same rule turns every input into its output.
Shape patterns grow by adding the same number of pieces at each step.
