The ISEE Lower Level Quantitative Reasoning subject focuses on developing mathematical reasoning skills through problem-solving and critical thinking.
Patterns are everywhere: in nature, music, and even the way we do things each day. Recognizing and understanding patterns helps you predict what comes next and solve problems more quickly.
A pattern is something that repeats in a regular way. It can be a sequence of numbers, shapes, or colors.
When you spot how one thing changes in relation to another, you’re discovering relationships. This is the building block for algebra!
Patterns and relationships help you solve puzzles, organize information, and understand how things are connected.
Whether you’re figuring out the next number in a sequence or noticing the rhythm in a song, you’re using pattern recognition every day.
The sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, ... increases by 2 each time.
If each jump on a hopscotch game is 3 spaces, the jump positions are 3, 6, 9, ...
Understanding patterns helps you predict and understand the world around you.
