Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson, you will create, describe and continue increasing and decreasing number sequences with twos, threes and fives.

Curriculum Links
Aligned with the Australian Curriculum: Year 2, Mathematics, Number and Algebra.
Resources Needed
Number cards, whiteboard, markers, and some small counters for each student.
Introduction
Let's explore number sequences by counting in twos, threes, and fives from different starting points.
Activity 1: Counting by Twos
In pairs, use counters to create a sequence starting from any number below 20.
Activity 2: Counting by Threes
Form small groups and use number cards to continue a sequence starting from any chosen number.
Activity 3: Counting by Fives
Individually, draw a sequence on the whiteboard starting from any number below 50.
Interactive Game
Play 'Number Sequence Race': increase and decrease sequences in a fun, timed challenge.
Discussion
Discuss: What patterns did you notice? How did you decide on your starting points?
Conclusion
Review how sequences grow or shrink and recap the importance of patterns.
