Number Patterns Word Problems

The study of mathematics includes numbers and the different patterns in which they are listed. There are different types of patterns in mathematics, such as number patterns, image patterns, logic patterns, word patterns, and so on. The number pattern is the most commonly used one since students are aware of even numbers, odd numbers, skip counting, etc., which help in understanding these patterns easily.

In mathematics, patterns are a set of numbers arranged in a sequence such that they are related to each other in a specific rule.

There are two basic divisions to find out the rules in number patterns:

When the numbers in the given pattern get larger, they are said to be in an ascending order. These patterns usually involve addition or multiplication.

When the numbers in the given pattern get smaller, they are said to be in a descending order. These patterns usually involve subtraction or division.

Zack saves 2 dollars each week. How much money will he have after 5 weeks?

Look at the pattern.
Each week the amount of dollars increase by 2.
We know Zack saved $8 on week 4.
Hence for week 5 add 2 to $8.

Zack will save $10 after 5 weeks.
