Strand and Content
Descriptor (Elaboration if
necessary)
CD: Continue and create
sequences involving whole
numbers, fractions and
decimals. Describe the rule
used to create the sequence

AC133
E: identifying and generalising
number patterns E:
investigating additive and
multiplicative patterns such as
the number of tiles in a
geometric pattern, or the
number of dots or other
shapes in successive repeats
of a strip or border pattern
looking for patterns in the way
the numbers
increase/decrease

LI and SC
LI: We will ID and create
patterns which include whole
numbers, fractions and
decimals.
SC: I can describe number
patterns; I can write algebraic
equations; I can create
number patterns using whole
numbers; I can create number
patterns using fractions and
decimals;

Misconceptions / Barriers

ID rule in patterns
(increasing / decreasing)

Do not understand inverse
