Grade 6 Term 2 NUMERIC PATTERNS Lesson 3
GRADE 6
TERM 2: APRIL-JUNE 2024
DURATION: 1 Hour
By the end of the lesson, learners should know and be able to determine equivalence of
different descriptions of the same relationship or rule presented:
- verbally
- in flow diagram
number sentence
tables
4. PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: flow diagram
describe and observe relationships or rules in learner’s own words
Homework provides an opportunity for teachers to track learners’ progress in the mastery of
mathematics concepts and to identify the problematic areas which require immediate attention.
Therefore, it is recommended that you place more focus on addressing errors from learner
responses that may later become misconceptions.
Activity 1
Activity
1. Tamie sells muffins for R4 each. The following table shows how much
money she makes.
The number of 1 2 3 4 5 20
muffins she sells
a) .
The money in rand 4 8 12 16 20 60
that she makes
2. Study the flow diagram below. It shows the same relationship as the
table above.
a). Is the money (in rand) that Tamie makes an input or output?
Output
b). Copy and complete the flow diagram.
5 20 15 60
c) . What rule can you use to find the output values?
Input × 4
d). What rule can you use to find the input values from the output
values?
Output ÷ 4
e). Explain how multiplication and division can work together.
Input values 1 3 5 10 12 14
Output values 20
a) Do the table and the flow diagram use the same rule to calculate the output
values?
b) Complete the table and the flow diagram.
c) Compare the output values in the table and in the flow diagram. What do you
notice?
d) Which rule is easier to use? The rule in the table or the rule in the flow diagram?
Explain.
Activity 2
1. Study the three sequences in the table
Position 1 2 3 4 6 20 100
Sequence 1 4 9 14 19
Sequence 2 5 10 15 20
Sequence 3 6 11 16 21
a) Describe horizontal patterns for each of the sequences. How are they the same
and how are
they different?
b) Describe vertical patterns for each of the sequences. How are they the same and
how are
they different?
c) Complete the table above, describe and discuss your methods.
2. Below are three flow diagrams in for the sequences outlined in the table above.
How are the flow diagrams the same and how are they different? Copy and
complete the missing parts in the flow diagrams.
