Working with Patterns



Patterns
During our whole class Maths lessons we have been working on ‘patterns’. I have been asking my students questions such as: What comes next?, What is missing? What are other ways we can create patterns? What makes something a pattern?
Recent research shows that students working with patterns, and learning pattern awareness teaches them about shapes, counting, sequencing, differences, similarities (regular and irregular mathematical features/concepts), and early algebratic thinking.
Furthermore, we will be making patterns that involve pictures, words, and of course NUMBERS!  To read more go to :https://nrich.maths.org/13362
