Exploring patterns 13, 26, ___, __, ___, ___ 176, 151, 126,_, __, __, _ _, __, __, __, 185, 195, __ Can you create and solve 5 more pat- terns. Identifying step patterns Can you create 5 more patterns varying your steps. Function Operations Design three function monsters each with a different operations (+, -, x or ÷ ). Add 5 numbers IN to each machine and record how they came OUT. Balance the Equation 20+ __=35 __ +10= 55 5 x __= 40 35 ÷ 5= ___-13 12+10=15 + ___ Balance each equation so they are the same. Balance the Equation Poster __ +9= 55 6 x __= 42 45 ÷ 5= ___-10 3+10=9 + ___ Design a poster to explain the steps of making equations the SAME on both sides. Solve the value of the letter n + 20 = 32 n=12 n + 40 = 100 n=60 n + 19= 57 n ÷ 5 = 4 45 – n = 2 Make six of your own calculations using the first letter of your name as the missing value. Number Patterns Using Materials The first picture? (Six) How many were in the second? (Eleven) How many were in the third? (Sixteen) Continue to generate the next few numbers from the pictures Visual patterns This bridge has three triangles. It is made up of 7 rods. Draw and record how many rods are needed to make a bridge with 1) four triangles 2) six triangles 3) nine triangles 4) 10 triangles 5) 50 trian- gles (no need to draw) Square patterns How does the number of one colour relate to the other? Continue this pattern three more times. Record the total amount of squares each time– these are called square numbers. Square numbers 1x1= 2x2= 3x3= 4x4= Complete each calculation and represent as a square using squared paper to be accurate. Numeracy Algebraic Thinking Revision Top tip: Use materials or drawings to help you algebra is very clear when it is made visual. Two operations Complete this machine with six more numbers.
