    The document describes a problem solving strategy called "Looking for Patterns". It involves reading the problem to identify any patterns in the numbers, underlining the numbers to see the pattern more clearly, working out what pattern can be seen such as counting by tens, using the pattern to answer the question, and checking the answer by reviewing the pattern again. The example problem shows Dan's swimming distances by day with an increasing pattern of tens, so by the pattern he will swim 70 meters on Saturday.
