This session aims to develop and deepen the participants’
understanding on the critical content and competencies in
Mathematics Grade 4. More specifically, they should be able to:
determine the missing term/s in a sequence of numbers (e.g.
odd numbers, even numbers, multiple of a number, factors of a
number, etc.)
construct assessment items on determining the missing terms
in a sequence.

SEQUENCE
-an ordered set of numbers, letters, shapes or symbols
-each number, letter, shape or symbol in the sequence is
called a term

1. Given the table below, find the missing terms and
state the rule.
A pattern is to add 13 to each term to get the next term.
48 + 13 = 61 61 + 13 = 74
So 61 and 74 will be the next terms in the arithmetic
sequence.
Position 1 2 3 4 5 6
Value of Term 9 22 35 48
+13 +13 +13 +13

2. Extending Arithmetic Sequences
Identify a pattern in each sequence and then
find the missing terms.
48, 42, , , , 18, 12, . . .
Look for a pattern. A pattern is to subtract 6
from each term to get the next term.
42 – 6 = 36 36 – 6 = 30 30 – 6 = 24
So 36, 30, and 24 are the missing terms.
–6 –6 –6 –6 –6 –6

The number of DVDs Eva has after each month
shows a pattern: Add 3. This pattern can be written
as a sequence. 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 … Therefore,
by the 4th month, Eva will have 12 CD’s.

name the next three terms.
, , ,24, 19, 14 , 9
Look for a pattern. As the missing terms are at the
beginning of the pattern. Working backwards,
pattern is to add 5 to get the next term.
24 + 5 = 29 29 + 5 = 34 34 + 5 = 39
So 29, 34, and 39 will be the next three terms.
+5 +5 +5 +5 +5 +5

6. Identify a pattern in the sequence. Name
the missing terms.
24, 34, 31, 41, 38, 48, , , ,…
A pattern is to add 10 to one term and
subtract 3 from the next.
48 – 3 = 45 45 + 10 = 55 55 – 3 = 52
So 45, 55, and 52 are the missing terms.
+10 –3 +10 –3 +10 –3 +10 –3

7. Here is a number pattern. What three numbers should go in
the boxes?
The first pattern is to subtract 1 from the previous number.
100 - 1 = 99, 99 - 1 = 98, 98 - 1 = 97
So, the numbers that should go in the boxes are 3, 97 and 4.
- 1 - 1 - 1
+1 +1 +1
1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 1 = 3, 3 + 1 = 4
The second pattern is to add 1 to the previous number.

8. The daily start times for showing a movie are
listed below. If this pattern continues, what is the start
time for the 4th show?
A pattern is to add an hour and a half ( 1 hr and 30 mins).
2:00 + 1 hr 30 mins = 3:30 3:30 + 1 hr 30 mins = 5:00
5:00 + 1 hr 30 mins = 6:30
So, the fourth show will start in 6:30 p.m.

9. A sequence of four figures is shown below. If
the figures were continued, how many circles would
there be in Figure 10?
For each figure, two circles, that is, one circle on each
edge is added.
Thus, figure 5 will have 9 circles; Figure 6, 11 circles;
figure 7, 13; figure 8, 15; figure 9, 17; and figure 10,
19 circles.

Figures 1, 2, and 3 are shown below. He needs four
matchsticks to form figure 1, seven matchsticks to form
figure 2, and ten matchsticks to form figure 3. He uses the
same rule each time to make the next figure in the pattern.
How many matchsticks will he need to form figure 4?
Answer: 13 matchsticks; 3 matchsticks are added for each succeeding figure.

CREATE YOUR OWN PROBLEM
1.By group, construct an assessment
about the properties of
addition/multiplication (5 items; 1
should be a word problem)
2.Present the sequence to the class.
Test of observation skills
How many faces can you see? Sharing of answers.
The key in teaching patterns is to expose the students with different exercises. This will train them to be observant.

Choose best 2 sequences within the group.
Present the sequence to the class. (Optional: challenge another group to answer the sequences within 1 minute.)
Ask the participants to computing 18 x 5 as fast as possible.
Then let the participants share the techniques they used in computing
Lead the participants to realize that the properties of addition/multiplication allowed them to execute such techniques
POSSIBLE TECHNIQUES (Note: these techniques look tedious when written but they actually happen in the mind very fast)
(10 x 5) + (8 x 5) = 50 + 40
(18 / 2) x (5 x 2) = 9 x 10
(20 x 5) – (2 x 5) = 100 – 10
