Maths | Identifying Patterns

Patterns are repeated designs and timestables are multiplying digits in order to get an answer.

For the one timestables the pattern is that the answer increases by one. The pattern of the nine timestables is that the numbers increase by nine and also that the ones count down and the tens count up. All of the timestables have a pattern.

Patterns always lead back to where it has started. If 'patterns' don't connect back to the start, it is not a pattern.

Patterns can be useful to learning the timestables because people can end up recalling the answers quickly.
