Number Properties
Students
recognise and generalise patterns in types of counting numbers.
Specifically, students will create different arrangements of the numbers
from 1 to 100; colour all of the square numbers, triangular numbers, or
prime numbers; and then describe, explain, and extend the patterns they
see.
