Find a pattern

Read this.

Julius is using tiles to design a mural for a covered court. If he continues the
pattern, which group of tiles should he use for the unfinished section.

Y ? Y Y
G G ? G This is the pattern of colors

V ? V V
R R R R R
Y Y Y Y

Red – R
Green – G
Yellow – Y
Violet – V

Understand: This is what you know.

 The tiles form a pattern.
 The colors are red, violet, green and yellow.

Plan: You can find the pattern and continue it.

Solve:
 Look for a color pattern in the columns from top to bottom.
You see a column of red, green, red beside a column of violet,
yellow, violet, yellow. This pattern repeats.

 Then look at the diagonal rows. What pattern do you see?

Choose the group of tiles that completes the pattern of the columns
and the pattern of the diagonals.

LESSON 2 Learning Competency 72

Uses different strategies (looking for a pattern, working backwards) to solve for
the unknown in simple equations involving one or more operations in whole
numbers and fractions.
 In the previous lesson, you have learned to find the next term in the
sequence. You have also learned how to describe a pattern and formulate the
rule.
In this lesson, you will learn to solve for the unknown in simple
equations.

Look at the pattern below. What is the missing number?

3.1 6.2 9.3 ______ 15.5

Mark cut a 14 dk board into 3 pieces.

The first piece is as long as the second and third pieces together. The third piece is
half as long as the second piece. How long is each piece?

The pattern is start with one, then add 3.1 repeatedly.

The missing number is 12.4
The length of each is 3.1 dm.

Here’s another example:

Find the next terms and look for the pattern

27, 9, 3, 7, ?, 1/9, 1/27, 1/81

The pattern is: Start with one and divide 3 repeated the missing terms are: 1 and 1/3.
Ex.
27 ÷ = 9 9÷3=3 3÷3=1 1 ÷ 3 = 1/3

Do this.
Find the pattern.

₱ 24.00 ₱ 35.00 ₱45.00 ₱55.00

WHEN YOU ARE DONE, RAISE YOUR HAND TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE
READY FOR THE GROUP DISCUSSION.

Let’s have another one

Solve for the unknown.

Example: 4 + _____ ÷ 3 = 4

To solve for the unknonwn, you have to work backward.

Let’s go back to the example.
 4 + _____ ÷ 3 = 4 = 4+4=8

So, the unknown is 8.

4+8÷3=4

12 ÷ 3 = 4

Here’s another one.

1 x +_____ + 2 = 10 = 10 – 2 = 8

So, 1 x 8 + 2 = 10
8 + 2 = 10

Now, do these. Solve.

1. 3 x _____ + 1 = 10
2. 15 x 2 ÷ _____ = 3

WHEN YOU ARE DONE, RAISE YOUR HAND TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE
READY FOR THE GROUP DISCUSSION.

Let’s have another one.

12 ÷ ____ + 3 - 2 = 4

WHEN YOU ARE DONE, RAISE YOUR HAND TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE
READY FOR THE GROUP DISCUSSION.

Here’s another one

2 1 1
3/4 - _____ + 1/4 = 2/4 = - =
4 4 4

So, 3/4 – 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4

Do these.

2/ 3 x _____ - 1/12 = 1/12

WHEN YOU ARE DONE, RAISE YOUR HAND TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE
READY FOR THE GROUP DISCUSSION.

REMEMBER:

 The unknown is solved by working backwards.

 You can use any of the operations +, - , x, ÷, to solve for the unknown.

Self-Test (Lesson – 2)

I. Solve the following.

1. 1/3 + _____ + 4 = 4 2/3

2. 3 x _____ + 4 = 10
3. 15 ÷ _____ + 20 = 25
4. 3 + _____ + 4 = 10
5. 21 ÷ _____ x 2 = 14
6. 4/5 - _____ + 1/5 = 3/ 5
7. 6/7 - _____ + 3/7 = 5/7
8. 8 + 4 + _____ - 3 = 14
 WHEN YOU ARE DONE, RAISE YOUR HAND TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE
READY FOR THE GROUP DISCUSSION.

SUMMARY:

In this module you have learned to:

A. Formulate the rule in finding the next term in a sequence.

What comes next?
Ex. (1)

_______________

Rule: The position of the shaded part changes.

Ex. (2) 4, 9, 14, 14, 19, _____

Rule: Start with the number 4 and add 5 repeatedly.

B. Solve for the unknown in simple equations involving one or more operations
on whole numbers and fractions.

Ex. Solve for the unknown.

1. 24 x _____ + 6 = 54
2. 16 ÷ 4 - _____ + 5 = 7
3. 6/8 + _____ - 3/8 = 4/8
