1   Numbers and the number system


           2  Copy and complete this square using the rule ‘add 2 across and add 2

                down’.

                What do you notice about the numbers on the diagonal?

                Discuss with your partner.

                                                 +2


                                           +2     1
















                Draw two more 5 by 5 squares and choose a rule using addition.

                Predict what the numbers on the diagonal will be before you

                complete the squares.

           3  Choose any two of these three sequences.

                How are they similar to each other and how are they different?


                   2, 4, 6, 8, . . .           2, 5, 8, 11, . . .              3, 5, 7, 9, . . .


           4  Look at these sequences.

                Which could be the odd one out? Explain your answer.


                   13, 16, 19, 22, . . .           8, 11, 14, 17, . . .            −5, −2, 1, 4, . . .



                    9, 12, 15, 18, . . .           16, 19, 22, 25, . . .






           Think about your answers to questions 3 and 4.
