Multi-age K–2, mathematics, Year A – Unit 12
Develop students' knowledge, understanding, and skills with patterns in this two-week, multi-age, sample unit – Patterns have something that repeats over and over and over again.
Syllabus
Syllabus outcomes and content descriptors from the Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022) © NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) for and on behalf of the Crown in right of the State of New South Wales, 2024.
In this unit, students will learn to:
- understand that patterns repeat, and this repetition is referred to as the repeating core
- understand that some patterns can increase (grow) or decrease (shrink) by the same amount in each subsequent term
- develop an understanding of patterns in the place value system.
