Patterning

In maths today the children worked together to create and continue sequential pattern.

The problem:

In a class there are 20 students. They are wearing jerseys of 3 different colours – blue, green, and red. The class was lined up in a way that the pattern of jerseys was:

blue, blue, green, green, red, blue, blue, green, green, red...

Each group had a set of jersey to create the pattern.  Once they had created the pattern and answered questions they were asked to create their own sequential pattern.
