2 35. Check students’ explanations, e.g. start with 10 and add 5 five times (or 5 × 5).
3 195. Check students’ explanations, e.g. start with 5 and add 10 nineteen times (or 10 × 19).
4 7. Check students’ explanations, e.g. start with 23 and subtract 4 four times (or −4 × 4).
5 20. Check students’ explanations, e.g. start with 35 and subtract 3 five times (or −3 × 5).
6 40. Check students’ explanations, e.g. start with 20 and add 4 five times (or 4 × 5).
7 10. Check students’ explanations, e.g. the term-to-term rule is ‘add 3’, so start with 16 and subtract 3 twice
(or −3 × 2).

3 a Three extra grey squares are added to get the next pattern (or term).
b term = 3 × position number − 2

put +1 at the end, not +3.
