This two-week unit develops student knowledge, understanding and skills of patterns. Students are provided opportunities to:
subitise dot patterns 1 to 5
copy, create, and complete repeating patterns
identify part-whole combinations up to 5.
Before engaging in these teaching and learning activities, students would benefit from prior experience with:
recognising patterns in a story or recognising patterns naturally through playful songs and rhymes
engaging in pattern recognition as they observe things that repeat over and over again in their environments such as colours, shapes, and events. For example, bathroom tiles that create a pattern.
collecting or identifying small groups.
