Timestable Patterns | Maths

Patterns are repeated designs and timestables are multiplying digits in order to get an answer.

The pattern shown below is the six times tables. The number sequence found was 6, 3, 9. This is because 1 x 6 = 6 (0 + 6 = 6), 2 x 6 = 12 (1 + 2 = 3), 3 x 6 = 18 (1 + 8 = 9), 4 x 6 = 24 (2 + 4 = 6), 5 x 6 = 30 (3 + 0 = 3), 6 x 6 = 36 (3 + 6 = 9) and ect.

Patterns always connect back together, so if the shape doesn't connect back to the start then it isn't a pattern.

Patterns can be useful in learning the timestables because people can end up remembering the answers quickly.
