After Easter, P7 are starting Patterns and Relationships. Today they completed an active task to get their brains thinking. Children were given the first 3 terms of a pattern using Cuisenaire rods and had to continue this pattern within their groups. They then discussed their findings and what they noticed. From there, children created a line graph to show the sequence. After that, children were asked to write a calculation for each term in the sequence by considering what is common to all the patterns. Using their formula, they were then asked to check this by working out the 15th or 20th term, for example. It was very challenging but well done P7 – you were excellent!
