• 2 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
• 3 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
