In this study figural patterns were produced by participants following 2, 6, 12, 20, 30,.. non-linear number pattern and strategies that were used by students while creating figural patterns were investigated. In total, 474 middle school eigth grade students attended the study. Data were collected from a pattern task, in which participants were asked to generate figural patterns based on 2, 6, 12, 20, 30,.. non-linear number pattern and also asked to write the process they followed. The obtained data were analysed at two levels. The results of the study indicated that participants produced different figural patterns using different forms and used different pattern generating strategies such as counting, determining a figure and counting, recursive, drawing, explicit and chunking the numbers strategies. Some participants were found to have difficulties to generate figural patterns
