Now that we know different 2D shapes, we can use them to make different patterns. Each pattern has a rule that needs to be followed. Sometimes it is helpful to say the pattern aloud to work out what the next shape should be.
When we are describing patterns, we can start to predict what will come later on in the pattern. Coming up with a rule can be tricky, as it can be hard to describe in words what we have noticed, but helps us to do this.
Work through the In Focus task, Activity Time and Guided Practise, before you make a start on your Workbook sheets. Don’t forget to get your grown up to mark your work for you. If you make some patterns at home during the Activity Time, then you can take a photo of them and send them to me to share on the blog.
*If you find this hard, keep practising the ‘Activity Times’ with different shapes and objects and work with a family member to describe the pattern or say the next one in the sequence.
*If you have finished your work, Oak Academy have a good lesson on shapes and pattern which you can work through as well.
You can also try this challenge below:
The hard part is explaining your reasoning – have a think about these questions to help your explain your reasoning. How do you know what the tenth shape is? What working out/thinking did you do? If you had to explain how to solve it to someone else, what would you say?
We have completed the maths assignments.
My answer to the maths challenge is
a) the missing shape is a yellow circle with a red rectangle inside it.
b) The tenth shape would be a yellow square with a red triangle in it. The reason is because the 5th shape is a yellow square with a red triangle and 5 + 5 = 10 so 10 will be the same.
Well done Nadine, you have found the missing shape. Check your answer for the 10th shape. The pattern is a set of three…
The missing shape is a yellow circle with an orange rectangle. The tenth shape is also a yellow circle with an orange rectangle. The pattern repeats after every three shapes.
So 31st, 61st, 100th, 1000th, 1000000th and one quintillionth shapes will also be yellow circles with orange rectangles!!! Because the number before them can be divided by 3.
Miss I finished my maths of the shapes.
Worksheet completed.
Challenge
missing shape is the circle with triangle inside. 10th is the circle with triangle inside.
I found this by labelling the given patter and added blank spaces for the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th. That is how I found my answer
All done Miss Carruthers.
Challenge
the missing shape is yellow circle with red rectangle and the 10th shape is yellow circle and red rectangle because the pattern has 3 shapes.
I finished the Maths homework and did the Oak Academy lesson.
Challenge: 4th pattern: circle with rectangle in it.
10th pattern: circle with a rectangle in it.
I know it is the circle because the pattern is circle (with rectangle in it), square (with triangle in it), triangle (with circle in it). I wrote down a line from one to ten and drew the pattern along it (repeating the pattern of three).
Hi Miss,
I have done today’s maths workbook sheets about patterns.
Challenge:
The missing shape is a yellow circle with a red rectangle inside.
The tenth shape is also the same yellow circle with a red rectangle inside.
Bye, Bo
The missing shape is yellow circle with a rectangle in.
The tenth would be the same, the circle with the rectangle in.
We worked out it was going up in 3s and that the tenth shape would be the same as the first . Not sure we would be able to find out what a high up number would be though, ie one that we couldn’t draw up to. We had to draw the pattern out for questions on the worksheet that asked what the 15th number would be…
Dear Miss Carruthers,
I finished all my work. I like patterns.
Thank you
Brilliant work all of you! I’m impressed that so many of you had a go at the challenge. Well done for working out that it was a pattern of three.
Dear Ms Carruthers,
I have completed the workbook task.
The answer to today’s challenge is the rectangle inside of a circle.
After filling in the missing shape in the pattern, I followed the pattern sequence till I got to the tenth one.
Dear miss Carruthers,
I have finished my maths blog homework.
The maths was no problem.
The 4th & 10th are the same pattern, a circle with rectangle inside, because 10 – 6 = 4 so 10th is the same as 4th.
We liked the oak academy layout.
