What's included?
Engaging Year 1 resources for creating and continuing patterns with 2D shapes, a core KS1 Maths objective for early algebraic thinking and geometric properties. Activities encourage reasoning as pupils identify the rule and sequence of the pattern, supporting deepening understanding of shape order and rotation. This small step is vital for achieving national curriculum mastery in pattern recognition and geometric sequencing. The CS Maths Scheme provides varied visual patterns for analytical practice.
