Number Patterns Year 4

Number Patterns Year 4 is a complete mathematics unit for teaching repeated rules and relationships in whole-number patterns.

Students compare neighbouring terms, identify additive and subtractive changes, recognise multiplicative growth, complete missing terms, repair errors, follow hundreds-chart trails, determine input-output rules and explain how they checked a pattern.

Learning Focus

• Identify and describe repeated additive, subtractive and multiplicative rules
• Continue patterns and calculate missing terms
• Interpret moves on a standard hundreds chart
• Determine and reverse input-output relationships
• Distinguish equal differences from equal factors
• Create, test and explain a valid number pattern
• Use multiple examples as evidence for mathematical reasoning

Classroom Use

Use the presentation for explicit teaching, the two games for partner or station work, and the worksheet sequence for guided practice, independent work, homework or revision. Complete the two-part assessment at the end of the sequence and use the rubric for consistent marking and feedback.

The unit is designed for approximately five mathematics lessons and can be adapted to a shorter revision block.

Formats, Page Count and Answers
