ISEE Middle Level Quantitative Reasoning

The ISEE Middle Level Quantitative Reasoning subject focuses on developing students' mathematical reasoning skills through problem-solving and critical thinking.

Basic Concepts

Patterns & Sequences

Spotting Patterns

Patterns are everywhere! Whether it's the tiles on a floor or the beats in a song, recognizing patterns helps you predict what comes next.

  • Repeating Patterns: Look for cycles that keep coming back.
  • Growing Patterns: Watch as each term gets bigger or smaller by a rule.

Working with Sequences

A sequence is simply an ordered list of numbers, like \( 2, 4, 6, 8, ... \). Figuring out the rule behind a sequence can unlock the answer to tricky questions!

Why It Matters

Identifying patterns and sequences is a powerful skill that helps you solve puzzles, understand schedules, and even code computers!

Examples

  • Finding the next shape in a growing pattern of blocks.

  • Solving for the missing number in a sequence like 5, 10, 15, __, 25.
