As part of Scottish Maths week we have been looking at different types of patterns.

Yesterday we looked at number visuals. We had to work out what number the number visual was. We then discussed what patterns we could see.

” I saw two groups of 4 dots and then doubled it” – Jaxon

“I saw two groups of 5 to make 10 then doubled it to see 20″ – Natalie

We then tried to make our own number visuals using the same patterns we found to help us

 

Today we continued to look at patterns and used Pascal’s triangle.  In groups we talked about what patterns we could see straight away.

 

We then then had to work out what the missing numbers in Pascal’s triangle.

” I think you add the 2 numbers on the end to find each number” – Mackenzie

” The number is found by repeating the pattern – 1, 4, 4, 4, 1″ – Szymon

We worked out together that to find the missing number we have to add the 2 numbers above it.

We can’t wait to continue finding patterns this week  Tomorrow we’re going to use Izak9.
