Number Pattern Relationships

Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules; identify relationships between corresponding terms; form ordered pairs and graph them on a coordinate plane

Try this together

Can your child follow two number patterns at once — for example, "add 2" and "add 4" — pair up the matching terms, and plot those pairs as points on a graph?
