This two-week unit develops student knowledge, understanding, and skills in patterning.
Mathematics K-2 Syllabus © 2021 NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) for and on behalf of the Crown in right of the State of New South Wales.
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.
