Definition of Pattern

A pattern is an arrangement of numbers or geometric objects according to a given rule or set of rules.

For example, the navy, pink and yellow flowers in the quilt in the picture are arranged in a pattern.

A mathematical example is the number sequence, \(2,4,8,16,32,\dots\). To form this number pattern, you need to follow the rule to "start at \(2\) and double the number each time".
