Lesson Notes: Patterns and Sequences for Primary One Pupils

Introduction to Patterns and Sequences:

Today, we will explore patterns and sequences in mathematics. A pattern is

a repeated arrangement of shapes, numbers, or objects. Sequences are
ordered lists of numbers or objects that follow a certain rule or pattern.

Examples of Patterns:

1. Shape Patterns: Patterns can be seen in shapes such as squares, circles,

triangles, etc. For instance:
Square, Circle, Triangle, Square, Circle, Triangle, ...
2. Number Patterns: Numbers can form patterns based on addition,
subtraction, multiplication, or division. For example:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ... (addition pattern)
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, ... (multiplication pattern)

Explaining Sequences:

Sequences are arrangements of numbers or objects following a specific

rule. Let's look at a few examples:

1. Counting Sequences:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... (sequential counting of numbers)
2. Skip Counting Sequences:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ... (counting by twos)
5, 10, 15, 20, ... (counting by fives)
