the next number in the sequence.
Matchstick
Polygons
How many matchsticks are needed to make 100 polygons? Work out a rule.
Explain why your rule works and write it as a formula. Can you work
out an overall rule that works for any repeating matchstick polygon
pattern?

Use Elephant
Wallpaper to investigate number sequences and nth terms.
A small piece of 'wallpaper' is shown, the aim is to decide what colour
the elephant is at selected coordinates. Use the sliders to determine
the coordinates.
Click
on the elephant of your choice then the 'final answer' button. A much
larger piece of wallpaper is revealed showing the elephant in question.
The levels
become progressively more difficult. Experts can start at a higher level.
The levels relate to those on the Elephant Wallpaper game and so can be
used to practise for the game.
