We start from 1, then add 2= 1+2 = 3
then add 3= 3+3 = 6
then add 4 = 6+ 4 =10

HW:
Q1
2. Why are 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, … called triangular numbers? Why are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, … called square
numbers or squares? Why are 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, … called cubes?
ANS:
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, … are called triangular numbers because they can be arranged to form an
equilateral triangle.
Ex:
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, … are called square numbers because they can be arranged in the form of a
perfect square shapes.
Ex:
1, 8, 27, 64, 125, … are called cubes because they can form a perfect cubes with dot.
Ex:
3. You will have noticed that 36 is both a triangular number and a square number! That is, 36 dots
can be arranged perfectly both in a triangle and in a square. Make pictures in your notebook
illustrating this! This shows that the same number can be represented differently, and play
different roles, depending on the context. Try representing some other numbers pictorially in
different ways!
Ans:
i) 36 can be shown pictorially as follows:
ii) Pictorial representation of 10 can be shown as follows:
iii) Pictorial representation of 10 can be shown as follows:
16
4. What would you call the following sequence of numbers?
That’s right, they are called hexagonal numbers! Draw these in your notebook. What is the next
number in the sequence?
Sol:
1st Number= 1
2nd Number = 7 = 1st Number + (6x1)
= 1+6 = 7
3rd Number = 19 = 2nd Number + (6x2)
= 7 + 12 = 19
4th Number = 37 = 3rd Number + (6x3)
= 19 + 18= 37
5th Number = 61 = 4th Number + (6x4)
= 37 + 24 = 61
Hence the next number in the sequence is 61.
