In this task students continue a triangular shape pattern with sticks to explore the rule used in the pattern. Students then use their understanding of the pattern rule to continue the pattern without the sticks.
In this practical task, students construct pyramid patterns using triangles. They then predict how many triangles would be needed for the next size pyramid and explain their rule.
Students identify and continue the number pattern for a stack of cans and complete a graph to demonstrate the relationship between two sets of numbers.
Given a rule, students complete a table and answer questions about cycling distances for a cycling fitness programme, describe the rule for the pattern, and identify an expression for the rule.
The start of spatial matchstick patterns are shown and described in tables. Students complete the tables and show the rules in either words or equations.
Students draw in the next two shapes in a spatial pattern, complete a table and rules about the pattern, then calculate the number of triangles in the 8th shape.
