Continue with pattern making today for maths. Draw 4 patterns in your copy. Draw two patterns using different shapes. E.g. square, circle, square, circle, square, circle could be one pattern. Triangle, rectangle, triangle, rectangle, triangle, rectangle could be the second pattern. If you want to make it a little more difficult you could do it with three shapes each time. For the final two patterns I’d like you to use colours. Draw 2 rows of 6 circles. Using different colours make patterns.
