[[Block 1 introduction]] / [[Sequences overview]] / 1.1.1 Pictorial patterns # Pictorial patterns can represent sequences [[Sequence|Sequences]] can be shown using pictures to show the pattern. #### Need to be able to: - Follow a pictorial sequence by drawing the next few terms. - Know that in a sequence the *same rule* is applied to each term to generate the next one. - Recognise pictorial representations of [[Arithmetic sequence|arithmetic]] (linear) sequences. - Find and draw patterns for missing terms in a sequence. - Understand that given a starting point term, there are different ways a sequence can develop. More terms are needed to fully recognise the rule. > [!success]- Demonstrate understanding > *Being able to answer questions like all of these is needed to show understanding:* > 1.

Learning later content is easier if understanding is deeper.* > > **- be able to work with pictorial representations of non-linear sequences (e.g. geometric, quadratic or Fibonacci)**
