G’day, Year 2 students! Today we are going to embark on an exciting adventure to discover the wonderful world of additive patterns. Are you ready to become treasure hunters?
Imagine you are a brave explorer on a quest to find hidden treasure in a magical forest. But there’s a catch! To unlock the treasure chest, you need to solve some additive puzzles along the way.
Introduction: Gather around! Start the lesson with a fun story about your imaginary treasure hunt. Share how explorers use maps and patterns to find their way.
Treasure Map Reveal: Show them the treasure map. Explain that each section of the map has a number. To move to the next section, they will need to solve an additive pattern puzzle.
Understanding Additive Patterns: Write a simple additive pattern on the board, like:
Following the Clues: Hand out the sticky notes with numbers. Each student will have to figure out the additive pattern to decode the next step of the treasure hunt. For example:
Treasure Discovery: Once students solve all the patterns correctly, they will unlock the treasure chest to reveal the goodies inside!
Wrap up the lesson by discussing the importance of additive patterns in real life. Encourage students to share their thoughts and ask if they can think of other patterns they observe in their daily lives, like in their favourite games or while counting their pocket money.
Finish with a fun chant together, celebrating their discoveries as young mathematicians!
Let's get ready to hunt for treasure while learning about additive patterns! Are you excited?
