How to solve Grade 4 patterns problems

Real problems from these worksheets, solved one step at a time — the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.

  1. Example 1

    263646?66?

    Fill in the missing terms

    1. Compare numbers that sit next to each other: 26 → 36 is +10, 36 → 46 is +10.
    2. The rule is add 10: each number is 10 more than the one before.
    3. Use the rule to fill the blanks: 46 + 10 = 56 (check: 56 + 10 = 66, the next number ✓); 66 + 10 = 76.
    4. So the missing numbers are 56, 76.

    Answer: 56, 76

  2. Example 2

    40 → 2048 → 2856 → 36Rule: −?

    Fill in the missing terms

    1. Compare each input with its output: 40 − 20 = 20, 48 − 28 = 20, 56 − 36 = 20. Each output is 20 less than its input, so the rule is − 20.
    2. So the missing rule number is 20.

    Answer: 20

  3. Example 3

    Rule: × 87 → 56?→ 72

    Fill in the missing terms

    1. The rule is × 8: multiply each input by 8.
    2. Check it with the full row: 7 × 8 = 56 ✓.
    3. Work backwards from the output 72: undo × 8 with ÷ 8. 72 ÷ 8 = 9.
    4. Check: 9 × 8 = 72 ✓.
    5. So the missing input is 9.

    Answer: 9
