Marvellous Maths in Reception

 Marvellous Maths in Reception

This week in Reception we have been making simple patterns. We used resources in our classroom to help make patterns. The chidlren used coloured multi link cubes to make a ‘pattern snake’ using two alternating colours. 

Our key questions this week were: 

What can you tell me about this pattern? 

What is the first thing you need in this pattern? 

What do you need to make this pattern? 

What should come next in this pattern? 

Can you continue this pattern?

This video was shown to the children as an introduction to making simple patterns.

Activities: 

Emma: " Blue, yellow, blue.." 

Tillie- Rose: " Look at my pattern!" 

Domanic: " It goes red, then green..." 

 

Lujah: " My pattern looks the same as this one"

 

Key Vocabulary: Repeat, again, the same, different, pattern
