Spot the Number Pattern Breaker
Year 5 Mathematics Finding the odd one out in number patterns We Are Learning To identify multiples and pattern breakers
WALT: Identify Pattern Breakers
We Are Learning To spot numbers that don't fit the pattern Success Criteria: I can identify multiples of 2, 3, 5, and 10 Success Criteria: I can find the 'odd one out' in a set of numbers Success Criteria: I can explain why a number doesn't belong
Warm-up: Multiples of 2
Look at these numbers: 4, 8, 12, 15, 16 Which number doesn't belong? Hint: Think about multiples of 2 Turn and talk to your partner!
Challenge: Multiples of 5
Here's a trickier one: 10, 15, 20, 22, 25, 30 Can you spot the pattern breaker? What rule are most numbers following?
Differentiation Strategies
{"left":"Support Learners: Use concrete materials like counters or blocks\nSupport Learners: Start with smaller numbers and obvious patterns\nSupport Learners: Provide multiplication charts as reference","right":"Challenge Learners: Work with multiples of larger numbers (6, 7, 8)\nChallenge Learners: Find multiple pattern breakers in one set\nChallenge Learners: Create their own pattern puzzles for others"}
Your Turn: Create and Solve
Extension Activity: Create your own 'odd one out' puzzle Choose a multiple (3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9) Write 5 numbers that fit the pattern and 1 that doesn't Challenge a classmate to solve it! Reflection: What strategies helped you spot pattern breakers?
