Shape patterns
Look for and use mathematical structure: apply properties of operations, place-value patterns, and relationships between shapes to solve problems efficiently
Typical age: 6–7 years
“When your child notices a pattern in their maths work — like how multiplying by 10 always adds a zero — do they use that pattern to solve similar problems more quickly?”
