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.
As students listen to the teacher read an adapted version of 'The Three Little Pigs' they construct a line graph showing how frightened the third little pig was feeling.
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.
