BAB 2: NUMBER
PATTERNS AND
SEQUENCES
ACTIVITY 1
Number Patterns and Sequences
Numbers can be arranged in sequences according to certain
rules.
Look at the following numbers:
1, 4, 7, 10,
+3 +3 +3
2, 4, 8, 16, 32,.
x2 x2 x2 x2
Group activity 1:
Objectives: Extend the number sequences using coins.
Instructions:
1. Collect 20 coins of some denomination.
2. Arrange the coins according to the figures 2.1 below.
3. Count the number of layers and coins to complete the following:
1 layer : 1 = 1 coin
2 layer : 1 + 2 = 3 coins
3 later : 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 coins
4. Following this sequences, arrange the coins for the fourth layer.
a) How many coins are needed?
b) Do you recognise a pattern in this arrangement of coins?
c) Write the numbers sequences for this activity.

Activity 2
Completing missing terms and contruct the number
sequences.
If there any missing term in a number sequences, we can complete the
sequences by following the pattern of the sequences.
Solution
a) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1
Answer:
1. a) +4 b) +7 c) -3 d) -9
2. a) 12, 324 (x3) b) 10, 30, 50 (+10) c) 36, 30, 24 (-3)
Activity 3
Odd and Even number
Even numbers are non-zero whole numbers which can be divided by 2.
Odd numbers are non-zero whole numbers which cannot be divided by 2.
Exercise:
1) Decide whether the following numbers are even or odd numbers?
a) 123 b) 168 c) 193 d) 226 e)17 f) 71 g)177 h) 772
2) List
a) even number between 10-30
b) odd number between 40-70.
Solution
1 a) odd, b) even, c) odd d) even e) odd f) odd g) odd h) even
2) a) 10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40
b) 41,43,45,47,49,51,53,55,57,59,61,63,65,67,69

Example
1) Which of the following numbers ia a prime number?
a) 31 b)65
Solution:
a) 31/1 = 31, 31/31=1.31 can only divided by 1 and 31, 31 is prime.
Answer: From the above activity, we find that all the circled numbers are prime numbers
less than 100. Therefore, we can use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to list all the prime
numbers less than 100.
Prime numbers less than 100: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59,
61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97
Activity 5
Factors
A whole number can be expressed as aproduct of two whole
numbers in different way.
The number 6 can be divided exactly by 1,2,3,and 6 without any
remainder. Therefore 1,2,3, and 6 are factors of 6.
A factor of a given number is a number that divides the given
number exactly without any remainder.
Solution:
a) 54/9 = 6 .. divided exactly, therefore 9 is a factor of 54.
b) 48/7 = 6 .. divided exactly, therefore 7 is a factor of 48.

Homework
1) Write down the missing number below
a) 2, __, 16, __, 30, ___
b) 3, __, 45, __, 1125, ___
c) ___,2401, ___, 49, ___,
2) Find :
a) Sum of odd number pairs between 151 and 157
b) The difference between the smallest and the largest odd number from 230 to 540.
5) X is the two digit whole number. If the factors of x are 1,2,4,8,11,22,44,88, find the value of x?
Answer:
1. a) (+7) 9,23,37 b) (x5) 15, 225, 5625 c) (/7) 16807, 343, 7
