Identifying Patterns in Number Sequences
Students start with simple number sequences, identifying arithmetic or geometric patterns based on the relationship between consecutive numbers. They practice extending sequences and predicting future numbers. By Year 5, they explore more complex sequences, using algebraic expressions to describe patterns and solve problems involving sequences in mathematical and real-world applications.
Creating and Extending Number Sequences
Initially, students learn to identify patterns in simple sequences and create their own based on given rules. They practice extending sequences and predicting future terms. By Year 5, students explore more complex arithmetic and geometric sequences, using formulas to create, extend, and find specific terms in sequences, applying their skills to solve algebraic problems.
Applications of Number Sequences
Students explore the practical applications of number sequences in various contexts, from predicting stock levels to modeling population growth. They learn to generate and analyse sequences to solve real-world problems. By Year 5, students use sequences in advanced mathematical and scientific applications, including algorithm design, financial forecasting, and environmental modeling, recognising the underlying patterns that govern many natural and man-made systems.
