Max Maths, Year 4, Try it, Number patterns to 10000 (2)

In the 'Try it' section of Max Maths for Year 4, students are tasked with identifying and completing number patterns to enhance their understanding of numerical sequences up to 10,000. The exercise begins with a 'Fill in the missing numbers' activity, where pupils examine a given sequence and determine the missing values based on the pattern observed. For example, they might be presented with a sequence where numbers increase by 10 each time, and they must fill in the blanks accordingly.

The 'Let's Practise' portion of the exercise provides a variety of number patterns for students to complete. These patterns range from simple additions or subtractions to more complex intervals. Pupils may encounter sequences where numbers increase by a consistent amount, such as adding 1,000 each step, or decrease by a set value, like subtracting 100. Other patterns might involve alternating increases and decreases or more intricate steps that require careful analysis. The goal is for students to recognize the rule governing each pattern and apply it to fill in the missing numbers, thus reinforcing their numerical fluency and problem-solving skills.
