Children who are able to identify mathematical patterns are able to predict later mathematical
achievement more than other abilities e.g. counting.
Patterns play a big part in creating a basis for the ideas of functions and algebra in the
foundation phase.
Enables learners to identify and describe patterns using terms such as “same as (=)”, “bigger
than (>), “smaller than (<)” etc.
Learners are encouraged to look for and evaluate patterns (pattern sniffing) which develops
mathematical thinking and understanding.
