Wren Class Maths Cafe - Patterns

Parents and Carers joined the children in Wren Class for a Maths Cafe today. We used the story 'Press Here' by Herve Tullet to inspire the children into exploring pattern. Patterns are central to maths and children have an instinctive idea of patterns. Research shows that children’s ability to see patterns forms the basis of early mathematical thinking. When you teach children to become aware of patterns, they will build up the skill of spotting patterns for themselves, they will see how patterns change and notice irregularities. We had a lovely afternoon and it was wonderful to have so many parents join us.
