Patterns

Algebra Patterns

We are learning to recognise and create patterns.

Our focus in maths has been looking at patterns and making our own. First we brainstormed what we thought about patterns and what they were:

·      They are shapes and we make them join – Regan

·      They use different colours – Skyla and Ella T

·      You put them in the same order - Kassia

Then we shared some of our pattern ideas on the interactive whiteboard:

 Then we made some of our patterns with some things in the class like dinosaurs and using different colour pieces of paper and shapes.

 Here are some of the patters we created.

We now know that patterns are repeating and were all able to describe our repeating patterns to our partners!
