Patterns and Algebra
Look around you, can you see a pattern? A pattern is an arrangement of shapes, numbers or
objects formed according to a rule. Patterns are everywhere, you can find them in nature, art,
music and even in dance!
In Week 10, we are looking at number patterns. A number pattern is a sequence or list of numbers
that is formed according to a rule.
Number patterns can use any of the four operations (+, –, ×, ÷) or even a combination.
In the example below, if we follow this instruction: “starting at 1 add 5 each time” we get this
number pattern:
Activities
a Rule: add 6 5 11 17
b Rule: subtract 10 100 90 80

Warm-Up
Cartesian Plane
The Cartesian plane (commonly referred to as the 'number plane') is named after the French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes (1596–1650), who was one of the first to develop analytical geometry on the number plane. On the number plane, the 'coordinates of a point' refers to the ordered pair
(x,y)
describing the horizontal position x
first, followed by the vertical position y
. The Cartesian plane is applied in real-world contexts, eg when determining the incline (slope) of a road between two points.
An easy way to remember the correct way is...
'x always comes before y, so the x coordinate is always first.'
This means that...
• the first coordinate, the x coordinate, is the amount you go 'across'; • the second coordinate, the y coordinate, is the amount you go 'up' or 'down'.

Bear attack survivor Ma Lin going for Aussie table tennis gold in Tokyo
Julian Linden,August 23, 2021 7:00PM
SPORT Reading level: Green
Every member of the Australian Paralympic team has had to travel a unique and difficult road to Tokyo, but few have faced as many wild twists and turns along the way as Ma Lin, the one-armed table tennis player gunning for gold.
The naturalised* Australian’s right arm was eaten by a brown bear at a zoo near his family home in provincial* China in the mid 1990s.
Ma Lin was just five years old at the time and lost so much blood that he was lucky to survive the attack. It changed the course of his life, but to this day, he does not blame the caged animal.
“I thought he was my friend because I used to go to the zoo every week to feed him,” Ma Lin said.
“So, I just decided to reach out and pat him, but I guess he was not in a good mood that day.”
Without warning, the giant bear bit clean through Ma Lin’s right arm.
Blood was gushing out of the wound, but he remained conscious*.
“I think I was in a bit of shock,” he said. “But I didn’t cry. Not once.”
Ma Lin’s friend, a six year old who had also come with him to the zoo, sprinted across the road to call his parents for help, while a group of tourists who witnessed the shocking incident put Ma Lin in a taxi and rushed him to hospital because there was not enough time to wait for an ambulance.
The surgeons at the hospital saved his life.
A budding pianist* before the attack, Ma Lin switched his focus to table tennis after he got hooked on the sport watching China sweep all four gold medals on offer at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
He was a natural right hander so he had to teach himself to do everything left handed. Once he mastered that, there was no stopping him.
Competing for China, he won his first Paralympic gold medal at Beijing in 2008, then two more at London in 2012 and another one at Rio in 2016, when he decided to make a life-changing decision to move to Australia.
Ma Lin and two other Chinese table tennis champions, Lei Lina and Yang Qian, all moved to Australia and pledged* their allegiance* to their new homeland.
All three have been selected for Tokyo – as part of a record 11-member team that has real hopes of getting on the podium after Sam von Einem broke a 32-year drought when he won a silver medal for Australia in Rio.
“It was really a lifestyle decision by all three of them. They‘re all good friends with each other,” said Australian head coach Alois Rosario, who has overseen the rebuilding of the national table tennis program since being appointed in 2013.
“Probably the most pleasing thing for us is that they‘re still keen to improve. They’re still keen to work hard, they’re still keen to play table tennis at the highest level and now really keen to represent Australia.
“Ma Lin talks about wanting to keep going to 2032 when he‘ll be 43 years old but Ma Lin’s an exceptional character and an exceptional athlete, so if he says he can do it then I believe him.”
GLOSSARY • naturalised: became a citizen of a country • provincial: areas outside the cities • conscious: awake, aware of what is happening • pianist: someone who plays the piano • pledged: promised • allegiance: loyalty or commitment to a country
Reading Comprehension Questions
1. How old was Ma Lin when he was attacked by the bear?
Create a Beginner’s Guide to Table Tennis. Assume that the person reading your
guide knows absolutely nothing about the sport. You will need to tell them details
such as: the aim of the sport, the equipment required, the type of field or arena
where the sport is held, the most important rules and how the winner is determined.
You may choose your own way of presenting your guide but it must be attractive and
user-friendly. It is recommended to include pictures and diagrams to help your
reader understand the sport.
Writing: Week 10 Wednesday
