GROWING WITH GROWING PATTERNS

Today our room was a 'patterning paradise'.
We had so much fun patterning, that we patterned for hours!
Mrs M couldn't stop us. We didn't even want to go out for Snack!

We were investigating GROWING patterns and we amazed Mrs M and even ourselves with what we discovered!
Can you work out the rule for each of these patterns?
Can you represent each pattern with a number pattern?
Can you apply the rule to tell what comes next?

Pattern 1:

Pattern 2:
Pattern 3:

Pattern 4: this one's tricky but if you apply the rule, you should be able to work out the starting number, even though you can't see all the blocks.

Pattern 5:

Pattern 6:

We kept this number pattern going all the way to 99 and we didn't have to keep applying the rule because we found a shortcut - a pattern in the pattern.

1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 _ _ _ ....

Can you keep it going? Can you see what we saw?

WE'D LOVE TO KNOW YOUR ANSWERS!

Hi Mrs M and 1mgems,

I have done a word wall words and I have made some good patterns.

The repeating pattern colour is abcde and the shape pattern is abccb.
The growing pattern is a growing, growing, shrinking pattern.

I had to teach my dad how to do the growing growing, shrinking pattern, I think he now understands.
