Some of Class 2 have been doing some maths investigations based on this wonderful pattern generator.
Look at this pattern.
Can you work out the next colour?
What colour star will be in the 100th space?
Look at the green square which contains the numbers 2, 3, 12 and 13.
What is the sum of the numbers that are diagonally opposite each other?
Do you notice anything?

You will need a pile of multilink cubes for this one.
Some Year 3s and 4s have produced some podcasted instructions to make a variety of small models. Listen to the podcasts, try to follow the instructions, then click on ‘View Solution’ for a picture of what your model should look like.
How good are their instructions? What positional language did you hear? How could they have made this easier for you to visualise what should be happening?
Years 3, 4 & 5 have been making multiples of 10 using digit counters.
Patterns needed to have at least 1 lines of symmetry.
See the pictures here. Check the working out!
The calcuator can be found here.
Class Two have been looking at Geometric Pictures to develop their understanding of the properties of 2D shapes.

Class Two have been investigating patterns that occur when odd and even numbers are added, subtracted, multiplied and divided.
Is it possible to predict whether the answer will be odd or even?
They’ll share their findings below.
