Making two number patterns from two rules, pairing up their terms, and spotting how the patterns are related, such as each B term being twice the A term.
Make a sheetDownload PDFThe PDF has this sheet, its answer key and a guide for grown-ups.
Follow each rule from its start to write the terms. Pair the terms in the same position as (A, B). Then look across the pairs: B is always the same number of times A.
Watch for: Starting a pattern at the number added instead of at 0. Pairing terms from different positions, like A's third term with B's fourth. Saying B is always 5 more than A: the gap grows, but B is always 2 times A.
At home: Make two piles of coins: one grows by 1 each turn, the other by 3. Write the pairs as you go and ask how the second pile compares with the first.
