What is an Increasing Pattern?

• An increasing pattern is when numbers or things get bigger or grow each time.
• They follow a rule that makes them get larger by adding the same amount each time.
• It's like climbing a stairway; each step is higher than the last one.

• Counting days:
  • If we start counting days from today, each new day is ahead:
  • "Today is Day 1, tomorrow is Day 2, then Day 3!"


• Adding apples:
  • If you have 1 apple today, and you get 1 more apple each day:
  • "1 apple, 2 apples, 3 apples, 4 apples!"


• Counting stars:
  • If you see 5 stars one night, and then 6 stars the next night:
  • "5 stars, 6 stars, 7 stars..." as more stars appear!
