follow and create algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions to investigate numbers; describe any emerging patterns
- following or creating an algorithm to generate number patterns formed by doubling and halving using technology to assist, where appropriate, and identifying and describing emerging patterns
- following or creating an algorithm that determines whether a given number is a multiple of 2, 5 or 10, identifying and discussing emerging patterns
- creating an algorithm as a set of instructions that a classmate can follow to generate multiples of 3 using the rule ‘To multiply by 3 you double the number and add on one more of the number’ (for example, for 3 threes, you double 3 and add on 3 to get 9; for 3 fours you double 4 and add one more 4 to get 12 …
- creating a sorting algorithm that will sort a collection of 5-cent and 10-cent coins and providing the total value of the collection by applying knowledge of multiples of 5 and 10
