Find a Pattern Question: Carol has written a number pattern that begins with 1, 3, 6, 10, 15. If she continues this pattern, what are the next four numbers in her pattern? 1) UNDERSTAND: What do you need to find? You need to find 4 numbers after 15

Find a Pattern Question: Carol has written a number pattern that begins with 1, 3, 6, 10, 15. If she continues this pattern, what are the next four numbers in her pattern? 2) PLAN: How can you solve the problem? What’s our strategy? You can find a pattern. Look at the numbers. The new number depends upon the number before it.

Find a Pattern Question: Carol has written a number pattern that begins with 1, 3, 6, 10, 15. If she continues this pattern, what are the next four numbers in her pattern? 3) Solve: Look at the numbers in the pattern. 1 3 = (starting number is 1, add 2 to make 3) 6 = (starting number is 3, add 3 to make 6) 10 = (starting number is 6, add 4 to make 10) 15 = (starting number is 10, add 5 to make 15)

Find a Pattern Question: Carol has written a number pattern that begins with 1, 3, 6, 10, 15. If she continues this pattern, what are the next four numbers in her pattern? New numbers will be = = = = 45

Make A Table Question: You save $3 on Monday. Each day after that you save twice as much as you saved the day before. If this pattern continues, how much would you save on Friday?

Make A Table Question: You save $3 on Monday. Each day after that you save twice as much as you saved the day before.

Then you need to know that you always save twice as much as you find the day before.

Make A Table Question: You save $3 on Monday. Each day after that you save twice as much as you saved the day before. If this pattern continues, how much would you save on Friday? 2) PLAN: How can you solve the problem? What’s our strategy? You can make a table like the one below. Day Amount of Money Saved Monday $3 Tuesday $ Wednesday$ Thursday $ Friday $

Make A Table Question: You save $3 on Monday. Each day after that you save twice as much as you saved the day before. If this pattern continues, how much would you save on Friday? 2) Solve: Fill in the rest of the table Day Amount of Money Saved Monday $3 Tuesday $6 Wednesday$12 Thursday $24 Friday $48 You save $48 on Friday
