follow and create algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions to investigate numbers; describe any emerging patterns
Elaborations
following or creating an algorithm to generate number patterns formed by doubling and halving using technology to assist, where appropriate, and identifying and describing emerging patterns
following or creating an algorithm that determines whether a given number is a multiple of 2, 5 or 10, identifying and discussing emerging patterns
creating an algorithm as a set of instructions that a classmate can follow to generate multiples of 3 using the rule ‘To multiply by 3 you double the number and add on one more of the number’ (for example, for 3 threes, you double 3 and add on 3 to get 9; for 3 fours you double 4 and add one more 4 to get 12 …)
creating a sorting algorithm that will sort a collection of 5-cent and 10-cent coins and providing the total value of the collection by applying knowledge of multiples of 5 and 10
