(a) Work out the nth term for the pattern of matches
(b) How many matches will the 100th pattern have?
4 7 10 13
The diagram shows a pattern of matches building up.

3n+ 1
Substitute 100 into the nth term above
3 x 100 + 1 = 301
The diagram shows a pattern of squares building up.
(a) How many squares will there be in the nth pattern?
(b) What is the largest pattern number you can make with 187 squares?
3 5 7
+2 +2
2n+ 1
Make the nth term equal to 187 and solve 2n + 1 = 187
- 1 - 1
2n = 186÷ 2 ÷ 2

(a) Draw the fourth diagram.(b) How many squares are there in the nth diagram?(c) How many squares are there in the 25th diagram?(d) With 200 squares, which is the biggest diagram that could be made?
1) 2) A pattern of triangles is built up from matchsticks.
(a) Draw the fifth set of triangles in this pattern.(b) How many matchsticks are needed for the nth set of triangles?(c) How many matchsticks are needed to make the 60th set of triangles?(d) If there are only 100 matchsticks, which is the largest set of triangles that could be made?
3) 4)A conference centre had tables each of which could sit six people. When put together, the tables could seat people as shown.
(a) How many people could be seated at four tables?(b) How many people could be seated at n tables put together in this way?(c) At a conference, 50 people wished to use the tables in this way. How many tables would they need?
