Why Learn This With Teachoo?

Welcome to your first chapter in Class 6 Maths. This chapter is all about a simple, powerful idea: mathematics is the search for patterns.

You'll find these patterns everywhere—not just in your textbook. They are in nature, in the games you play, and even in the way the stars move. This chapter will help you learn how to spot these patterns and understand them.

 

What We Will Study

 

Here’s a look at what we'll be learning:

  • Patterns in Numbers: We'll look at different number sequences. You'll learn to spot patterns in:

    • Odd and Even numbers

    • Triangular numbers (1, 3, 6, 10...)

    • Square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16...)

    • Cube numbers (1, 8, 27...)

  • Drawing Patterns: We'll see how to draw these number patterns using dots. This makes it easy to see why we call them "triangular" or "square" numbers.

  • Connecting Patterns: You'll find surprising links between patterns. For example, you'll see what happens when you add odd numbers (like 1 + 3 + 5) – it creates a totally different pattern you already know.

  • Patterns with Shapes: We'll also look for patterns in geometry, using shapes like:

    • Polygons (triangles, squares, pentagons)

    • Stacked shapes

    • The Koch Snowflake

  • Linking Numbers and Shapes: We will finish by connecting everything. You'll see how counting the sides or dots in a shape pattern can lead you right back to the number patterns we started with.
