Learning goals
- We are learning to recognise, copy and describe repeating patterns in different ways.
- We are learning to identify and describe the repeating unit in a pattern with numbers, symbols, shapes and objects.
- We are learning to classify objects and copy, continue and create patterns.
- We are learning to recognise, continue and create pattern sequences, with numbers, symbols, shapes and objects, formed by skip counting, initially by twos, fives and tens.
- We are learning to continue simple patterns using numbers and objects.
- We are learning to follow a short sequence of instructions and recognize, copy, continue, and create repeating patterns in different ways.
