This exercise is aimed to teach early years children about patterns and sequencing.
Learning objectives/outcomes: England:ELG: Talk about, recognise and recreate simple patterns. NNS Y1: Organising and using data 90-93: Solve a given problem by sorting, classifying and organising information in simple ways, such as using objects or pictures. NC KS1: Ma3 Shape, space and measures 1e: recognise simple spatial patterns and relationships and make predictions about them. Northern Ireland: Foundation Stage:
Patterns & Relationships: continue a simple pattern.
Key Stage 1:
Processes:
- select the materials and mathematics appropriate for a task
- develop different approaches to problem solving
Patterns, Relationships & Sequences in Number:
- copy, continue and devise repeating patterns Scotland: (3-5 Framework)
- recognise patterns, shapes and colours in the world around them.
- understand and use mathematical processes such as matching, sorting, grouping, counting and measuring.
- apply these processes in solving mathematical problems.
(5-14 Guidelines)
Patterns and Sequences: Level A: Copy, continue and describe simple patterns or sequences of objects of different shape or colour.
Additional information: Megahops: The maximum number of megahops awarded in this activity is 1. The award is given when a child successfully completes the activity and is not dependent on how many questions the child gets right or wrong.
