Evidence of understanding
- Continue a repeating pattern of shapes or colours
- Describe the rule for a given sequence of objects
- Create own patterns and sequences using mathematical objects
Assessment prompt
Can Patterns & Sequences spot a repeating pattern made of shapes or objects and continue it, or create their own repeating pattern?
