Number patterns: double the number each time
This topic focuses on number patterns where each subsequent number is obtained by doubling the previous one. These patterns, known as geometric sequences with a common ratio of 2, are easiest to understand by looking at examples. Let's start by looking at one such number pattern:
1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , _ , _ ...
What comes next? To find out, let's first look at the differences between each pair of consecutive numbers:
- 2 ÷ 1 = 2
- 4 ÷ 2 = 2
- 8 ÷ 4 = 2
You can see that in each step, we multiply the previous number by 2 to get the next number in the sequence. That is because doubling a number is the same as multiplying it by 2. Now, let's use this rule to find the next number:
8 x 2 = 16
So, the next number in the pattern is 16. The sequence now looks like this:
1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , _ ...
If we do the next number in the sequence, it will be 16 x 2 which is 32,
1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 ...
To recap, always remember the following steps when identifying the next number in a pattern that doubles the number each time:
- Confirm that the ratio between each pair of consecutive numbers is 2 by dividing them.
- Multiply the last number in the sequence by this ratio of 2.
- That gives you the next number in the sequence.
This topic asks you to work out the next number in the pattern of numbers created by doubling the number each time.
