Algebra > Additive Patterns
Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:
Recognise, describe and create additive patterns that increase or decrease by a constant amount, using numbers, shapes and objects, and identify missing elements in the pattern.
What this means
Working with patterns that involve adding or subtracting a constant amount (numbers or shapes).
- For example, the pattern 7, 17, 27, 37 involves starting with 7 and adding a constant amount of 10 each time. Students could describe this pattern “as adding ten each time”.
