Teacher Notes Students will need calculators and whiteboards with dry erase markers. Paper and pencil can be used if whiteboards are not available. Students should set up and attempt to solve the problems, and then check the accuracy of their work when the answers are shown on the screen.

The first step is to determine the rule for the pattern. Write the numbers in the pattern 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, 32

What could be the rule? Guess and Check

, 8, 14, 20, 26, 32

The first six numbers in the pattern below were made using a subtraction rule. 85, 78, 71, 64, 57, 50 If the pattern continues the same way, what will be the next two numbers in the pattern? Use subtraction to find the pattern. 85 – 78 = 7 78 – 71 = 7 71 – 64 = 7 64 – 57 = 7 57 – 50 = 7 The answer for each problem is the same.
