Number detectives! 🔍 THE THEME: Rules of Sequence. Find the rule and predict the future!
Main skills from this lesson
🎨 What is a Pattern?
Patterns are formed by repetition of one or more shapes, numbers, objects or sounds in a sequence.
I will learn to:
🟩 🟩
💡 Tip: Look for the part that keeps repeating. That is the 'Core' of the pattern!
In the pattern 🟩 🟩, what is the repeating set?
👧 Shahina's Exercise
Shahina is looking at this pattern. Can you help her answer the questions?
💡 Hint: 1st=, 2nd=🟩, 3rd=, 4th=... just keep counting!
What comes after the square (🟩) in this pattern?
Move in a Pattern
Patterns aren't just for paper! Try this sequence of moves:
Did you realize that you are performing the exercise in a pattern?
˜¡
💡 Fun Fact: Music is also full of patterns! Think of the beat of a drum.
What was the FIRST step in our action pattern?
🎨 Exercise 1: Shape Extender
Can you draw (or type) the next 3 shapes in these patterns?
💡 Tip: Say the names out loud to hear the rhythm!
In pattern 'b', how many squares follow each oval?
Exercise 2: Missing Pieces
👦 Teacher Ali: "Some shapes are playing hide and seek! Can you find them?"
Look at the sequence and pick the missing shapes from the palette.
💡 Detective Tip: Look at the shapes before and after the empty spot!
In pattern 'd', the number of balls is growing. 1, 2, then what?
🚀 Exercise 3: Advanced Sequences
👧 Aishath: "Look at the shapes! Can you see the pattern?"
Find the rule and extend the sequence by typing in the next parts.
💡 Pro Tip: For alphanumeric patterns, look at the number and the letter separately!
In the pumpkin pattern (26, 28, 30...), what is the rule?
The Pairing Rule
👦 Teacher Ali: "If every number has a partner, it's EVEN! If one is left alone, it's ODD."
Look at the grid below. All the blue numbers are EVEN!
💡 Pattern Secret: Even numbers always end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8!
Is the number 15 odd or even?
¢š Exercise 2: Spot the Mistake
Someone made a mistake in these skip counting sequences! Can you find the incorrect number? Type it in the box.
💡 Detective Tip: Subtract two numbers next to each other to find the rule!
In sequence 'a', what number SHOULD have been there instead of 45?
Pairing Pebbles
Let's see if these numbers are even or odd by making pairs!
💡 The Parity Rule: If leftover is 0, it's EVEN. If leftover is 1, it's ODD!
If you have 13 pebbles and make pairs, how many are left unpaired?
Vocabulary & Facts
New Words:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
🌟 Remember: Patterns make math predictable and fun!
What is the smallest EVEN number?
Advanced Challenges
1. Asrar's Bracelets:
Asrar says: "If I make 9 bracelets with 5 beads each, I'll use 43 beads."
2. Sahiba's Pattern:
"My pattern has a Circle, Heart, Star, Triangle, and then it repeats!"
...
In Sahiba's 4-shape pattern, what is the shape on the RIGHT of the 5th shape?
Finale: Rule Masters
Sum Patterns:
Sameena's Stick Pattern:
Sameena uses sticks to make triangles.
🎉 Congratulations! You've completed Chapter 2: Patterns!
What is the sum of an ODD number and another ODD number?
