A bright and engaging set of 8 Number Patterns Anchor Charts designed for pupils working within First Level Curriculum for Excellence.
This colourful, child-friendly resource supports pupils as they learn to recognise, continue and explain number patterns. Learners are introduced to repeating, growing and decreasing patterns, skip counting, finding rules, completing missing numbers and applying their understanding to simple pattern problems.
Each poster uses clear explanations, colourful worked examples and visual strategies to help pupils develop number sense, reasoning and confidence when working with patterns.
