A pattern follows a rule. We can spot the rule, predict what comes next, and check whether the prediction works.
Spend 10 minutes building, extending, and describing three patterns using objects, movements, or numbers.

Check understanding
- Spot a pattern in a set of numbers, shapes, or facts without being told to look for one
- Use a pattern they noticed to make a prediction — e.g. 'The next one should be 16 because it's doubling each time'
- Explain the pattern they found and why they think it works
“When your child notices a pattern — like a number pattern, a word ending, or something that keeps recurring — do they use it to figure out what comes next or predict something new?”
