The worksheet asks you to identify a pattern in the sequence of numbers: 0, 2, 3, 5, 9.

Step-by-Step Pattern Recognition:

• First Difference (Between Consecutive Numbers):
  • $2 - 0 = 2$
  • $3 - 2 = 1$
  • $5 - 3 = 2$
  • $9 - 5 = 4$

The differences between the numbers are not constant, but they follow a recognizable pattern: 2, 1, 2, 4.

Explanation of the Pattern:

• The differences alternate between a small increase (+2, +1, +2) followed by a larger jump (+4).
• There may be a more complex rule behind this, but at a glance, it suggests a growing or alternating difference pattern.

You could explain or show this visually by writing down the differences and showing how they vary, or by drawing arrows to indicate the changes between the numbers.

1. What might be the next number in this sequence?
2. Can you think of another number sequence that uses a similar alternating pattern?
3. How would you describe this sequence in terms of a formula?
4. What happens if you apply the same pattern for a few more numbers?
5. Could there be a practical example where this kind of number pattern appears?

Tip: Always check for differences between consecutive numbers when identifying patterns in sequences.
