A bright and engaging set of 8 Patterns Anchor Charts designed for pupils working within First Level Curriculum for Excellence.
This colourful, child-friendly resource helps pupils recognise, continue and explain different types of patterns. Learners explore repeating, growing and decreasing patterns, skip counting, finding the rule, completing missing numbers and applying their understanding to simple pattern-solving activities.
The posters use clear explanations, colourful examples and visual models to support number sense, mathematical reasoning and independent learning.
