Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

National Curriculum Compliance

This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Mathematics, focusing on the recognition and creation of patterns, which is a key area of study for Year 1.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 min	Introduce the topic of patterns. Use simple examples (e.g., red-blue-red) and invite students to identify the pattern type.
2	Demonstration	5 min	Show different patterns using coloured paper and shapes on the whiteboard. Ask students to describe what they see and extend a shown pattern.
3	Group Activity	10 min	Divide students into small groups. Provide each group with various materials (blocks, paper). Instruct them to create their own patterns.
4	Class Sharing	5 min	Allow each group to display their patterns briefly around the room. Encourage students to walk around and observe the patterns made by their peers.
5	Guided Practice	3 min	Hand out printed exercises on patterns. Students individually complete a simple pattern recognition worksheet.
6	Homework Assignment	2 min	Explain homework: students draw their own patterns at home using two or three colours. Collect handouts without presentations.

Evaluation

Observe participation during the group activity and class sharing.
Review completed worksheets to assess understanding of patterns.
Collect homework to evaluate students' ability to create patterns independently.

Conclusion

This lesson will enhance students' understanding of patterns through interactive activities that align with the national curriculum objectives for Year 1 mathematics.
