Key facts behind this grade 4 patterns test
- 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.
