Pattern Probe

What students practice

Students practice identifying number pattern rules, including skip counting and times-and-sharing patterns, after watching a beacon sequence before it hides.

How to play

Players tune the rule with the Left/Right arrows and press Space to launch, hopping the rule from beacon to beacon to reach the hidden last number; rescanning costs nothing to start but drains the signal, and losing the signal three times ends the mission.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose which pattern rules are in play, how much of the sequence stays visible (the memory cloak), whether the rule is shown on a miss, and the speed; the end screen offers a printable list of rules to practice.

Pattern Probe is one of 16 games in the Memory room, a members room on the Promenade.
