stage 3: patterns and algebra
1. Write this number pattern on the board:
2, 5, 11, 23, 47, 95
Ask children if they can work out the number pattern?
What is the rule? ( x 2 + 1)
2. Why do we need number patterns? (whole-class discussion)
3. Use matches to model worksheet problem (p.1)
4. Model creating own number patterns on board.
5. Children do page 2 of worksheet
6. Children create own number patterns and explain to the class.
