Roll A Rule!

Roll A Rule!
View Curriculum Codes   
Description

This engaging activity is a part of our progressive Year 5 Number Patterns unit. It has been created to support students to consolidate their knowledge when identifying, describing and creating increasing and decreasing whole number, fraction and  decimal number patterns as a result of addition and subtraction. Students use dice to roll a number as their rule and start at the starting number to increase or decrease the pattern.

Suitable for
  • Fast Finishers
  • Relief Teachers
  • Parents
