Objective One : Know key aspects of pattern development • Maths is the study of patterns (Reys et al., 2009, p. 139) and Booker et al., (2010, p. 18) states that “patterning is fundamental to mathematical thinking.” • Children need to establish well developed problem solving skills, as this is a skill children need to develop for all life's aspects. Creating, constructing and describing patterns helps to develop problem solving skills (Reys et al., 2009) • Patterns assist children with the development of thinking strategies for mathematical equations. • Exploring patterns requires active mental involvement and often physical involvement (manipulatives) (Reys et al., 2009, p. 139) • Children can be asked to continue or extend patterns, make their own, • Patterns can assist in classifying and making comparisons, which help in providing number sense experiences. (Booker, 2010) • Tools for developing pattern recognition can be : Calculators, geometric shapes, graph paper, unifix, beads, paper, any items which help to form patterns of numbers, shapes, colour, ect.
Objective 2: Know typical number patterns e.g. square, cubic, prime, odd & even. Pattern & order: Match a pattern, continue a pattern, create a pattern, order groups of objects/numbers, and make and continue patterns.
