ORIGO Big Book – Year 1: Patterns Here, Patterns There!

A repeating pattern (for example: 1, 2, 1, 2 ) repeats without alteration. A growing pattern (for example: 2, 4, 6, 8 ) increases or decreases in a regular manner. Both types of patterns are introduced in the book Patterns Here, Patterns There!

These whole-class activities provide students with the opportunity to:
