Grade 9 Mathematics – Numeric & Geometric Patterns

Grade 9 Mathematics – Numeric & Geometric Patterns

COURSE OVERVIEW

In this course, learners will develop their ability to recognise, analyse and generalise numeric and geometric patterns.

Learners will investigate sequences and visual patterns, identify relationships between terms, determine constant differences and develop algebraic rules that describe how patterns grow or change.

The course progresses from recognising and extending patterns to determining general terms, calculating unknown terms and using algebraic reasoning to solve increasingly complex pattern problems.

Through structured video lessons, worked examples, quizzes, exam-style questions and a mastery assessment, learners will strengthen the pattern recognition and algebraic reasoning required for FET Phase Mathematics.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of this course, learners should be able to:

• Recognise and extend numeric patterns.
• Identify and describe geometric patterns.
• Determine relationships between consecutive terms.
• Calculate constant differences.
• Describe pattern rules using words and algebra.
• Represent patterns using tables.
• Determine general rules for appropriate sequences.
• Use algebraic rules to calculate specific terms.
• Determine the position of a given term.
• Analyse geometric patterns and relate figure numbers to the number of elements.
• Translate geometric patterns into numeric sequences.
• Solve Grade 9 exam-style pattern problems.
