In this unit, 'Patterns have something that repeats over and over and over again', students are provided with opportunities 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.
