Number Patterns Posters

These posters model how number patterns can increase and decrease with whole numbers, fractions and decimals. They are a useful anchor chart to display in your classroom when teaching and learning about number patterns in upper primary.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to identify, describe and create number patterns and use addition and multiplication to identify the rule.
  • We are learning to identify and describe number patterns and use multiplication to identify the rule.
  • 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.
  • We are learning to identify and create rules that generate visually growing patterns and number patterns involving rational numbers.
  • We are learning to create and use algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that use rules to generate sets of numbers; identify, interpret and explain emerging patterns.
  • We are learning to continue and create sequences involving whole numbers, fractions and decimals and to describe the rule used to create the sequence.
