Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way.
Can you make each side of this triangle add up to 9 using the digits 1-6?
Give kids a taste of a sequence, let them build an understanding, and then see how far their predictions can take them.

These flowers sure are getting bigger faster! How large will they be in step 10? What about step 50?
A triangle splits and splits and splits again. How many will there be in step 20?
Pascal's pattern-packed triangle is a potent puzzle for pupils to ponder.
When we're adding and subtracting, do evens make odds into evens? Do odds make evens odd? Which one has… more power!?
Say you have a dollar. Say you can double that dollar each day: $1, $2, $4, and so on. How long will it take to reach… one million dollars? Not as long as you might think!
