1.   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 = 2 + (n – 1) B. t = 2n – 1
    C. t = 2n + 1 D. n = 2 + (n + 1)
    Hint

  2.   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 + (n – 1) B. t = 2 + (n – 1)
    C. t = 1 + 2n D. t = 2n – 1
    Hint

  3.   Jaime found a rule for this dot sequence to be d = 3 + 2(n – 1), where n is used to represent the term number and d to represent the number of dots. Find an equivalent rule.
   
    A. d = 3 – 2(n – 1) B. d = 1 – 2n
    C. d = 2n + 1 D. d = 3 – (2n + 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 = 6 + (3n – 3) D. t = 7 + (3n – 2)
    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 = 4(m – 3) + 1
    C. n = 4m – 2 D. n = (m – 4) + 4
    Hint
