Four
repeating shape patterns made from tables and chairs. Work out the
rule that connects the number of chairs with the number of tables.
Follow the number patterns and predict the next number.
Work out a rules and explain why they work. Write the rules as a
formulas.

Repeating
shape patterns made from matchsticks. Follow the number patterns
and predict the next number in the sequence.
Matchstick
Polygons
How many matchsticks are needed to make 100 polygons? Work out
a rule. Explain why your rule works and write it as a formula.
Can you work out an overall rule that works for any repeating
matchstick polygon pattern?
Matchstick Squares
Three different square matchstick patterns.

Repeating shape patterns made from girders and bolts.
How many girders and bolts are needed to make 100 sections? Work
out a rule. Explain why your rule works and write it as a formula.

Repeating shape patterns made from pink and yellow flowers. Work
out the rule that connects the number of pink flowers with the number
of yellow flowers. Follow the number patterns and predict the next
number.
Work out a rule and explain why it works. Write the rule as a formula.
The
flower patterns come in three levels of difficulty:

Use
Elephant Wallpaper to investigate number sequences and nth
terms.
A small piece of 'wallpaper' is shown, the aim is to decide what
colour the elephant is at selected coordinates. Use the sliders
to determine the coordinates.
Click
on the elephant of your choice then the 'final answer' button. A
much larger piece of wallpaper is revealed showing the elephant
in question.
The
levels become progressively more difficult. Experts can start at
a higher level. The levels relate to those on the Elephant Wallpaper
game and so can be used to practise for the game.
