Identifying addition patterns is a key skill in mathematics that involves finding a rule or pattern in a sequence of numbers that are added together.

To identify an addition pattern, students can look for recurring number sequences or apply mathematical operations to a set of numbers to find the pattern. For example, to identify the pattern in the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, students can see that each number is 3 more than the previous number. Therefore, the addition pattern is to add 3 to each number in the sequence to get the next number.

Identifying addition patterns helps students develop their problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and algebraic thinking. It also provides a foundation for understanding more complex mathematical concepts, such as functions and graphing.

• Investigate the pattern of even numbers 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 in the one place and also relate to odd numbers.
