Multi-age K–2, mathematics, Year B – Unit 12
This two-week unit develops student knowledge, skills and understanding about repeating patterns, arrays and different ways to present and communicate about data.
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:
- recognise, name, create and extend various patterns
- identify that repeating patterns have a core that repeats over and over and over again
- identify, describe, organise and compare a variety of repeating patterns and arrays
- communicate their understanding and thinking as they create and explore various patterns and arrays
- select appropriate methods to display and interpret data.
