Pede Patterns

This unit is about generating number patterns for certain ‘insects’ from the mythical planet of Elsinore. Each ‘Pede’ is made up of square parts and has a number of feet. The patterns all link the number of feet and the number of squares. The students are encouraged to explore the patterns for themselves and try to make the connections between feet and squares. The patterns range from counting by 2s and 3s to being the number of feet plus three.

Staircases

This week we explore the patterns in different types of staircases.

Resource

Letter Patterns

In this unit we look at the number patterns we get from letters and numbers. We keep track of the numbers involved by drawing up a table of values. It’s important here to look for the pattern and see how the number of tiles changes from letter to letter.
