📚 Part 1: WALT, Success Criteria & Multiple Choice

WALT: We are learning to recognise and extend numerical patterns made from even numbers (skip counting by 2).

Success criteria: I can identify the rule (add 2), extend a sequence by three terms, and explain the rule in words.

Differentiation: Use a number line or counters if you need support. Try the extension question if you finish early.

1. What is the next number in the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, ...?

2. Look at 14, 16, 18, ... Which is the best description of the rule?

Add 2 each time

Add 4 each time

Multiply by 2 each time

3. Check all that apply: Which of these are even numbers?

4. Which sequence shows even numbers?

3, 5, 7, 9

8, 10, 12, 14

9, 11, 13, 15

5. Extend the sequence and explain the rule:

20, 22, 24, _____, _____, _____

Rule (write in words and numbers):

6. Show counting by 2 from 6 to 16.

6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16

7. Advanced challenge: Create your own even-number pattern that jumps by 4. Write the first five terms and explain the rule.

First five terms: _____, _____, _____, _____, _____

Explain the rule:

8. Plenary (exit question): What is the next number after 10 in the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, 10? Explain your answer in one sentence.
