Maths | Maths patterns

Last week the people in Mr Ogilvie's maths groups had to create a pattern using the times tables. We created pattern on a google drawing, shown below.

The pattern shown below is the six times tables, the number sequence is 6,3,9, Because 1 x 6 = 6 ( 0 x 6 = 6 ), 2 x 6 = 12 ( 1 + 2 = 3 ), 3 x 6 = 18 ( 1 + 8 = 9 ), and so on.

Patterns are a repeated design, each pattern loops, so if a design doesn't loop back to the begining, it isn't a pattern.

There are loads of patterns in the times tables, I showed those patterns in my last math blog post.
