Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
- Recognise a two-element AB repeat in a row of pictures
- Continue an AB sequence by working out which of the two elements comes next
Teaching tips
- Model saying the repeating pair aloud before choosing the missing emoji.
Skills covered
- Pattern recognition — pupils read a two-element AB repeat across a printed row and identify the rule governing it.
- Continuing a sequence — each exercise asks what comes next in an AB run rather than simply naming the pattern.
- Reading pictures as symbols — the pattern elements are emoji graphics, so a familiar picture stands in for an abstract term such as A or B.
