Maths Unit: Number Patterns
This comprehensive unit about number patterns supports students when learning to describe, continue and create patterns with fractions, decimals and whole numbers as a result of addition and subtraction. This unit contains an explicit and detailed presentation along with poster displays, worksheets for whole numbers, decimal and fraction patterns, class activities and an assessment which can be used for both pre and post unit testing. The unit also has worksheets and activities for students who are working towards understanding number patterns and tasks to extend students who have a deeper understanding.

Learning goals
- We are learning to create and use algorithms using multiple steps to experiment with factors, multiples and divisibility and identify and describe emerging patterns.
- We are learning to describe, continue and create patterns with fractions, decimals and whole numbers resulting from addition and subtraction, using the number line or diagrams to create patterns involving fractions or decimals.
