L.O: Getting the next number in a sequence using rules.

Relevance of number sequence in life.

Seating around tables. Think about a restaurant. A square table fits 4 people. When two square tables are put together, now 6 people are seated. Put 3 square tables together and now 8 people are seated.

Relevance of number sequence in life.

Pyramid-like patterns, where objects are increasing or decreasing in a constant manner. Ideas for this are seats in a stadium or an auditorium. A situation might be that seats in each row are decreasing by 4 from the previous row.

Activity.

Create different patterns. Use toothpicks, paperclips, thumb tugs or even cereal to make patterns. The interval between patterns is up to you to decide.

Independent work.
