follow and create algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions to investigate numbers; describe any emerging patterns

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• following or creating an algorithm to generate number patterns formed by doubling and halving using technology to assist where appropriate; identifying and describing emerging patterns
• following or creating an algorithm that determines whether a given number is a multiple of \(2, 5\) or \(10\), identifying and discussing emerging patterns
• creating an algorithm as a set of instructions that a classmate can follow to generate multiples of \(3\) using the rule “To multiply by \( 3\) you double the number and add on one more of the number”; for example, for \(3\) threes you double \(3\) and add on \(3\) to get \(9\), for \(3\) fours you double \(4\) and add one more \(4\) to get \(12\) ...
