Continuing Visual Dot Patterns
Students look at the first three steps of a dot pattern, work out how it grows or shrinks, and write how many dots the next step would have.
Student Objectives
- Spot the rule that makes each dot pattern grow or change
- Predict what the next picture in a pattern should look like
- Count dots carefully to check that a pattern is correct
- Explain how a pattern changes from one step to the next
