Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. 1. Using a hundred chart, ask students to colour each number as they skip count by 2s and describe the pattern created. Repeat for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Ask students to describe what changes they notice as the numbers increase. Note to what extent students: (i) identify all, some or none of the multiples of a given number. (ii) are able to predict and extend the pattern. (iii) are able to describe the pattern by relating it to similar designs in the real world (e.g., students may say it looks like a checker board)
