Study Notes: Patterns In Mathematics

1. What is a Pattern?
A pattern is a repeated arrangement of numbers, shapes, colours, or objects that
follow a specific rule or sequence. Patterns help us recognize order and make
predictions.
Example:
●​ Number Pattern: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 → The rule is to add 2 to each number.
●​ Shape Pattern: 🔴🟡🔴🟡🔴 → The pattern alternates between red and
yellow circles.
