Scoring is based on speed, flies caught and the number of correct answers.
3rd grade / Pattern / Number patterns / Subtract a number each time
This topic explores number patterns that involve subtracting the same number each time. This type of sequence of numbers is known as a descending arithmetic sequence because it changes by the same amount each time and gets smaller each time. Let's start by looking at a simple number pattern:
12 , 10 , 8 , 6 , _ , _ ...
What comes next? To find out, let's first look at the differences between each pair of numbers:
You can see that in each step, we take away 2 from the previous number to get the next number in the sequence. Now, let's use this rule to find the next number:
6 - 2 = 4
So, the next number in the pattern is 4. The sequence now looks like this:
12 , 10 , 8 , 6 , 4 , _ ...
If we do the next number in the sequence, it will be 4 - 2 which is 2,
12 , 10 , 8 , 6 , 4 , 2 ...
So always remember the following steps when identifying the next number in a pattern that subtracts the same number each time:
This topic asks you to work out the missing number in the pattern of numbers created by taking away the same number each time.
With our The frog flies math game you will be practicing the topic "Subtract a number each time" from 3rd grade / Pattern / Number patterns. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to pick the next term when subtracting the same number each time.
Learn or revise math with our fun interactive game THE FROG FLIES! You are a happy hungry frog in the middle of the jungle in the middle of the night. Catch the flies for your supper (and practice math just for fun).
You can play the game on tablet/mobile or desktop computer. On handheld devices you move the frog by tapping where you want it to move to. On a computer, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move.
Sometimes a big bird swoops through the forest catching unwary amphibians so stay alert and get out of the way of its beak!
Scoring is based on flies caught, questions answered and number of deaths by bird. Your final score is your total points minus your time in seconds.
