GRADE 8 Mathematics – Numeric Patterns

GRADE 8 Mathematics – Numeric Patterns

COURSE OVERVIEW

In this course, learners will develop a strong understanding of numeric patterns and how numbers change according to specific rules. Learners will learn how to identify, describe, extend and determine rules for number sequences, while developing the reasoning and problem-solving skills needed to solve Grade 8 CAPS Mathematics questions.

The course includes video lessons, worked examples, quizzes and a mastery test to help learners build confidence and prepare for assessments.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

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

• Identify and recognise numeric patterns.
• Describe how a numeric pattern changes from one term to the next.
• Extend numeric patterns by finding missing or subsequent terms.
• Determine the rule used to generate a numeric pattern.
• Work with patterns involving addition and subtraction.
• Work with patterns involving multiplication and division.
• Identify patterns involving constant differences.
• Use tables to represent and investigate numeric patterns.
• Determine relationships between terms in a sequence.
• Solve Grade 8 CAPS exam-style questions involving numeric patterns.
