What Makes a Pattern?

Can you find the pattern rule for this pattern?
The students in room 16 have been learning about patterns in math.  We know that patterns are found all around us, including in nature.  Students learned that a pattern repeats and that in can increase or decrease. We learned how to determine the pattern rules and how to apply the rule to find subsequent values in a pattern.  We applied rules to input charts and challenged our friends to find the rule based on the output.  As a final project we created our own patterns, determined the rule and then graphed the pattern.
