Shape Patterns and Rules
Year 2 Mathematics Creating and continuing repeating patterns Using 2D and 3D shapes
What is a Pattern?
Something that repeats again and again Follows a special rule We can predict what comes next Patterns are everywhere around us
Spot the Pattern!
Look at this pattern: 🔺 ⬜ 🔺 ⬜ 🔺 ⬜ What do you notice? What comes next?
Is This Still a Pattern?
🔺 ⬜ 🔺 🔺 ⬜ What's different about this one? Why or why not?
Creating Pattern Rules
Every pattern has a rule The rule tells us what repeats 2D shapes: circle, square, triangle, rectangle 3D shapes: cube, sphere, cylinder
2D vs 3D Patterns
{"left":"Circle, square, circle, square\nFlat shapes we can draw","right":"Cube, sphere, cube, sphere\nSolid shapes we can hold"}
Your Turn to Create!
Choose your shapes Start with a simple AB pattern Can you make an ABC pattern? Challenge: Try AABB pattern!
Pattern Detective Success!
I can spot a pattern I can continue a pattern I can explain the rule
