Grade 5 Numerical Patterns and Graphing Practice Test

Build Grade 5 Math skills with five 10-question practice tests on numerical patterns, rules, input-output tables, comparing patterns, and graphing ordered pairs.

Numerical Patterns and Graphing Practice Tests

These Grade 5 Math practice tests help students identify rules in numerical patterns, generate terms, complete input-output tables, compare two patterns, and graph relationships with ordered pairs.

Skills covered

  • Finding the rule in an increasing or decreasing pattern
  • Generating missing and later terms
  • Using input-output tables and simple equations
  • Comparing corresponding terms in two patterns
  • Writing ordered pairs as (x, y)
  • Graphing and interpreting pattern relationships

How to use these practice tests

Compare consecutive terms first. Decide whether the pattern adds, subtracts, multiplies, or follows an input-output rule. For graphs, use the input as x and the output as y, then write each point in the order (x, y).

1. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the next number in 2,5,8,11,…2, 5, 8, 11, \ldots?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 14.

  1. Read the pattern: Compare consecutive terms or input-output pairs to find what changes each time.
  2. Apply the rule: Add 3 each time: 11 + 3 = 14.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 14.

Add 3 each time: 11 + 3 = 14.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

What rule describes 4,8,12,16,…4, 8, 12, 16, \ldots?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Add 4.

  1. Read the pattern: Compare consecutive terms or input-output pairs to find what changes each time.
  2. Apply the rule: Each term is 4 greater than the previous term.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Add 4.

Each term is 4 greater than the previous term.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the next number in 30,25,20,15,…30, 25, 20, 15, \ldots?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 10.

  1. Read the pattern: Compare consecutive terms or input-output pairs to find what changes each time.
  2. Apply the rule: Subtract 5 from each term: 15 − 5 = 10.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 10.

Subtract 5 from each term: 15 − 5 = 10.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What rule describes 3,6,9,12,…3, 6, 9, 12, \ldots?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Add 3.

  1. Read the pattern: Compare consecutive terms or input-output pairs to find what changes each time.
  2. Apply the rule: The pattern increases by 3 from one term to the next.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Add 3.

The pattern increases by 3 from one term to the next.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the fifth term in the pattern 1,4,7,10,…1, 4, 7, 10, \ldots?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 13.

  1. Read the pattern: Compare consecutive terms or input-output pairs to find what changes each time.
  2. Apply the rule: The pattern adds 3: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 13.

The pattern adds 3: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

What rule describes 50,45,40,35,…50, 45, 40, 35, \ldots?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Subtract 5.

  1. Read the pattern: Compare consecutive terms or input-output pairs to find what changes each time.
  2. Apply the rule: Each term is 5 less than the previous term.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Subtract 5.

Each term is 5 less than the previous term.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

What rule describes 2,6,18,54,…2, 6, 18, 54, \ldots?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Multiply by 3.

  1. Read the pattern: Compare consecutive terms or input-output pairs to find what changes each time.
  2. Apply the rule: Each term is 3 times the previous term: 2 × 3 = 6 and 6 × 3 = 18.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Multiply by 3.

Each term is 3 times the previous term: 2 × 3 = 6 and 6 × 3 = 18.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the sixth term in 5,10,15,20,…5, 10, 15, 20, \ldots?
