1.   Write a rule that describes how to create each term of the sequence below.
   
    A. Add the same number as the term number to the right side to create another 2 squares.
    B. Add 6 toothpicks to the right side to create another 2 squares.
    C. Add 6 toothpicks to the right side to create another square.
    D. Add 3 toothpicks to the right side to create another 2 squares.
    Hint

  2.   Find the number of squares in Term 6 for the sequence.
   
    A. 28 B. 11
    C. 34 D. 9
    Hint

  3.   The following explanation of a rule is for a toothpick sequence. Find the correct rule if n is used to represent the term number and t to represent the number of toothpicks.
   
    A. t = 2n – 1 B. t = 2n + 1
    C. n = 2 + (n + 1) D. t = 2 + (n – 1)
    Hint

  4.   Carolyn found a rule for a toothpick sequence to be t = 3n – 2, where n is used to represent the term number and t to represent the number of toothpicks. Find an equivalent rule.
    A. t = 6 + 3(n – 3) B. t = 7 + 3(n – 3)
    C. t = 7 + (3n – 2) D. t = 6 + (3n – 3)
    Hint

  5.   One group of students created a table of inputs and outputs from the What's My Rule? game. Find the corresponding rule.
   
    A. n = 4(m + 3) B. n = 4m – 2
    C. n = (m – 4) + 4 D. n = 4(m – 3) + 1
    Hint
