We are learning about repeating patterns today! WALT

We are looking for children who can complete, correct and make repeating patterns. . WILF

Patterns repeat if we find the rule and look back at what has happened previously in the pattern we can work out what comes next.

Using your coloured squares I would like you to predict and hold up the colour that you think comes next in each of my patterns.

What comes next?

Make your own pattern

We are learning about number patterns today! WALT

We are looking for children who can complete and create their own number patterns, as well as identifying the rules that are used for each number pattern. . WILF

Look at theses number patterns. What do you notice? Discuss with your talking partner. 5 1 5 1 5 16 0 16 0 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 2 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 4

• All the number patterns have a rule. • Some use numbers to create a visual repetitive e same pattern. • while others have a clear distinct rule which ensures the value between each number is the same to create a sequence rather that a visually repetitive number pattern. • These number patterns do not use the same numbers in the sequence but they do follow the same rule.
