PMC MC1 Algebra Patterns,-Rules-And-Relationships

The Primary Mathematics Curriculum outlines learning outcomes for different stages, focusing on patterns, rules, and relationships in mathematics. It emphasizes the exploration of patterns and sequences, the identification of relationships, and the application of mathematical concepts through various representations. Each stage builds on previous knowledge, progressing from basic pattern recognition to more complex generalizations and problem-solving techniques.
