Students complete a table showing the number of rungs for different sized ladders. They complete a sentence stating the rule to calculate the number of rungs given the length, and use the rule to identify if a ladder, at a lean, will reach a given height and show their working.
Students complete a table showing pattern sizes and children's chest measurements. They answer two questions interpreting the pattern, and state the rule as a word equation.
Students complete a table to show a fitness plan pattern, finish a equation to describe the relationship, and answer questions to demonstrate their understanding of the pattern.

Students answer two questions about exercise times for an incrementing fitness programme. They identify an expression relating time exercised to the number of weeks on the programme, and explain why this pattern couldn't continue indefinitely.
Students interpret a table that describes the relationship between turkey size and cooking time, and show how they would extrapolate from it. Students also give a general rule for the relationship in words and as an equation.
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 matchsticks to continue a triangular spatial pattern and write a rule to describe the number needed for each pattern. They then complete a table and a rule to show the relationship between the number of triangles and the number of matchsticks.
