Module 5
Numerical Patterns
DM / ELG - Explore and represent patterns within numbers up to 10, including evens and odds, double facts and how quantities can be distributed equally.
We have explored the concept of making pairs and what 'twice' as many means. We used mirrors to explore the concept of doubles, knowing double is the same again. We understand that if something is doubled it is the same amount again - two lots of something.
We played a double dice game to see if we can roll a double, then cover the answer with a counter.
We have used songs and rhymes to help us with our rapid recall of doubles to 10.
DM / ELG - Explore and represent patterns within numbers up to 10, including double facts
Sharing
We then explored the concept of sharing into equal parts or groups. We know sharing happens where we know the number being divided and the number of groups but we don't know the size of each group.
DM / ELG - Explore and represent patterns within numbers up to 10, including how quantities can be distributed equally.
Odd and Even Numbers
We knew that a pair means 2. We grouped objects into pairs (or groups of 2) and used this to help us work out if a number was odd or even. If a set of objects can all find a pair, then it is even. If there is a object left out, then it is the odd one out so the number is odd!
We watched the Numberblock episode Odds and Evens to help us develop our understanding.
We sorted numbers and objects into odd and even.

Module 6
First, Now and Then
We have applied our addition knowledge to solve 'First, Now and Then' stories.
ELG - Mathematics - Number
• Have a deep understanding of number to 10, including the composition of each number
Repeating Patterns
We extended our knowledge about repeating patterns by looking at ABB and ABBC patterns. We copied and continued and then created our own patterns.
DM - Mathematics
Continue, copy and create repeating patterns
How many cubes?
We had to use our subtilising skills, spatial awareness and visual skills to recreate the 2D picture of a model using cubes. It was harder than we thought!
DM - Mathematics
Select, rotate and manipulate shapes to develop spatial reasoning skills.
