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.
