God designed everything when He made this world, and He arranged many things in patterns. As we work through mathematics, we can look for patterns, which often help us to work things out accurately.

Look very carefully at these slides.
Now draw what you think Figure 3 could look like.
Describe to your partner what you have drawn using only words.
How do you see the pattern growing?
Then describe what you think Figure 4 would look like. Describe what you are visualising - how the figures change.
What is it a picture of?
What do you think Figure 7 would look like? Could you explain in words what would happen?

Task 2
Maths is full of patterns. We can make patterns with numbers.
On a piece of paper, make a skip counting number pattern with 5 different numbers.
Now give it to someone else, and see if they can write the next 2 numbers in the pattern, without you telling them what the pattern is.
Afterwards, discuss how you work out what the pattern is, and how you could find out what the 10th number in the pattern would be.
Task 3
Task 3
Look closely at the example below and remind yourself how you can work out a number pattern.
Be careful - you must always check that the pattern works between every number, not just the first two numbers.
Now see if you can complete the questions below.

Task Three
Play "Roll a Rule" with two large dice and mini whiteboards.
Roll the first large multi-sided dice to determine the starting number.
Roll the second large 6-sided dice to determine the number to count by.
The teacher will state whether the rule will add or subtract the number to count by.
Start a 20 second timer. In 20 seconds you will add or subtract the number as far as you can on a mini whiteboard until the timer goes off.
See how well you can continue the pattern!

A. Have a go at this worksheet. In the first part you have to add in the next two numbers of the pattern and underneath you need to explain what the pattern is e.g. add 5, -10 etc.

Have a go at the two dice activities below. Follow the instructions carefully.
The first one asks you to roll a dice once.
The second one asks you to roll the dice twice and get two different numbers for your activity. For this sheet you need to pay attention to the different coloured arrows to know how to make your pattern. This makes a more interesting pattern.

Have a look at these slides and see if you can see a pattern.
Task 3B
Task 3B
Now write a number sentence for each slide.
Next, look at this table, and write out number sentences to match each line.
Can you explain the pattern that is happening?

Now have a go at making your own patterns by playing this spinner game.
Task 3D
Task 3D
This pattern also works with bigger numbers. Try to write the number sentences for this table. You need to think carefully because it is a little more difficult. Perhaps you could use MAB blocks to help check your number sentences.
