Patterns and relationships resources

Students interpret a line graph showing how high a skyrocket travelled over time.

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 interpret and answer questions about a dot plot showing how easy or hard some school work was.

Students continue a triangular pattern of dots on a fish and write a rule to describe the pattern.

Students interpret and answer questions about a line graph about a hungry tiger.

Students use rules to work out the number of shapes or matches in spatial patterns, and complete an algebraic rule from a word rule.

Students interpret and answer questions about a mapping diagram showing activities students chose in a basketball lesson.

Students answer questions by interpreting a line graph of a snail's progress as it climbed up a wall.

Students interpret a line graph about how students felt during their swimming sports.

Students complete a sequential number pattern and describe its rule in words.

Students locate co-ordinates on a grid, then plot a further co-ordinate.

Students sketch a relationship graph from information about how hungry a person was over the course of a day.

Students complete a table and a rule for a linear equation for a foreign currency exchange. The values are then plotted and interpreted.

Students complete a spatial sequential pattern, record the pattern in a table, and complete a statement about the pattern's rule.

Students complete number patterns, identifying and creating rules.

Students complete number patterns and express the rules in words.

Students interpret a graph of a bike trip to answer questions about time and distance.

Students identify the co-ordinates of points required to make the shapes of letters of the alphabet (L, T, and K) on a grid.

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.

Students work out the number of cans in a stack of a given height, and complete a sentence that states the rule.

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.

Students find subsequent shapes in several patterns and show how to work out another shape based further on in the pattern.
