GROWING PATTERNS

Today we explored GROWING patterns.

GROWING patterns do not repeat.

They GROW!

First we created our patterns. Some were GROWING, some looked like they were SHRINKING and some looked like they did both!

Then we took one part of our pattern away.

Others had to look closely at our pattern and work out the rule we had used to make our pattern.

Then they put back the missing part.

No-one was tricked.

WE WERE JUST ALL TOO CLEVER!

What ideas do you have for a GROWING pattern?

Make one at home. Draw it or now you can take a photo of it and email it to 1mgems@gmail.com

NAME THE PATTERN - BEN HAS 1!

Well done, Ben for sending in a comment and correctly naming Laura's pattern in our 'Lunchtime Fun' post... it was about 6 - an ABCDEF pattern!

Johanna and Flynn made these patterns at home.



Can you name these patterns?



What number would you give them?

Make a pattern of your own. Take a picture if you can. If not, send a comment telling us about your pattern and draw a picture to show us.
