Lesson details
Key learning points
- Radiating patterns start in the middle and grow around the outside.
- A radiating pattern can be extended in different ways by choosing different pattern blocks.
Keywords
Radiating patterns - A pattern that starts in the middle and grows around the outside.
Middle - The centre.
Outside - The outer edge.
Extend - To make something longer or bigger.
Common misconception
Children may only extend in one direction, rather than in all directions beyond a central point.
Count the spaces to fill around the outside, and then count each pattern block as it is placed around the outside.
