An arrangement that follows a rule. A repeated set of numbers, shapes or objects.

The part of a pattern that appears over and over again.

Order and arrange objects in patterns and explain the patterns

Maths

Review of using mathematical language to describe position

Use mathematical vocabulary to describe movement

Describe turns as a quarter, half, three-quarter or full turn

Solve problems involving position, direction and rotation

In this unit pupils will order and arrange combinations of objects in patterns and sequences They will consolidate understanding of whole half quarter and three-quarter turns using mathematical vocabulary to describe position direction and movement. In the future unit pupils will rotate 2 lines around a fixed point to make different sized angles They will identify vertices

In the prior unit pupils described position, direction and movement, including whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns. In this unit pupils will order and arrange combinations of objects in patterns and sequences They will consolidate understanding of whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns using mathematical vocabulary to describe position direction and movement

In this unit pupils will order and arrange combinations of objects in patterns and sequences. They will consolidate and then extend understanding of position, direction

Position and direction

Which of these could be the unit of repeat for this pattern?

Which of these patterns has used rotation?

The pentagon makes a quarter turn clockwise each time.

The pentagon makes a half turn each time.

The pentagon makes a quarter turn anticlockwise each time.
