• • Elaboration recognising repeating patterns used at home and in daily activities to help make tasks easier or to solve problems; for example, setting the table to eat
• • Elaboration recognising and discussing repeating patterns in images created using dynamic geometric software or a generative artificial intelligence tool, describing what has been repeated in the pattern
• • Elaboration recognising and describing repeating patterns that can be observed on Country/Place and in First Nation Australians artwork, cultural performances and material cultures; for example, shell and seed necklaces, dances and songs
