a) The pattern is formed by adding one new square to the right side of the previous figure. Each new square shares one matchstick with the square before it.
b) What is the same at every stage of the pattern is the shape of the individual units, which are squares. Also, the way the squares are joined, by sharing one matchstick on their adjacent sides, remains consistent.
c) What is different at every stage of the pattern is the total number of squares and the total number of matchsticks. In each stage, a new square is added, which increases the total number of matchsticks by 3.
