From three different sized animal pictures and their enlargements, students are required to identify the scale factor and the length of an unknown side.
Using multi-link cubes students construct and explore a growing sequence of step models, then they apply this information to continue the pattern without the cubes.
Using multi-link cubes students investigate the number of faces visible in a sequence of step models, then they use this information to continue and record the pattern in a table.
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.
