Identify and match patterns:
In pattern 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,...
We can see that all the numbers are multiples of 2. Hence all the numbers are even numbers. This pattern is called even number patterns.
The Fibonacci sequence is the series of numbers- 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21,...
In this sequence, the next number is the sum of previous to numbers.
In pattern 3, 5, 7, 9,...
We can see that all the numbers in the pattern are odd. Therefore this pattern is called odd number pattern.
1, 2, 4, 8,..., is a geometric pattern. It is made by multiplying a given number by the same value each time to get the next number. Here that value is 2.
The next number = 8 x 2 = 16
