Students use place value rods in this practical task to build up square patterns. Students then predict the number needed for the next pattern and explain their rule.
Students complete a table showing the number of matchsticks used in a spatial pattern, identify the number of matchsticks required for a given shape, and describe the rule for the pattern.
As students listen to the teacher read the story of Jack's visit to the Fun Fair, they plot the co-ordinates on their grid to show Jack's movement around the Fun Fair.
