ACTIVITY: Number Patterns (Mental calculations) [LO 2.1]

Work with a friend and see how many of the following are true (do not use a pocket calculator):

1 + 2 = 3

4 + 5 + 6 = 7 + 8

9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 13 + 14 + 15

16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20 = 21 + 22 + 23 + 24

a) Are the above correct? _______________________________________________

b) Are you able to extend the pattern? _____________________________________

_________________________________ = ________________________________

_________________________________ = ________________________________

2. a) Now look at the following pattern and write down the answers:

  • 9 x 1 + 1 ______________________________________________________
  • 9 x 2 + 2 ______________________________________________________
  • 9 x 3 + 3 ______________________________________________________
  • 9 x 4 + 4 ______________________________________________________

b) Can you predict what 9 × 12 + 12 will be? _______________________________

c) Explain to a friend how you arrived at the answer.

3. a) Write down the answers to the following

  • 9 x 0 + 1 ______________________________________________________
  • 9 x 1 + 2 ______________________________________________________
  • 9 x 2 + 3 ______________________________________________________
  • 9 x 12 + 3 _____________________________________________________

b) Predict the answers of.

  • 9 x 123 + 4 ____________________________________________________
  • 9 x 123456 + 7 _________________________________________________

c) Check your answers with the help of a pocket calculator

Assessment
