DS (5) Yr 1 is very able at maths. But he just can't seem to 'get' sequences. I've tried explaining about patterns, and counting forwards/backwards but he just looks at it blankly. If you give him the first missing number he then fills in the rest no problem, but figuring out what the first one is seems impossible. I don't really get it because he's top stream, and top of the top stream, but just this bit seems to get him. He does maths books for fun (strange boy!) and sails through them until he gets to a sequencing page when he's confused again.
Is there a better way to explain? A game we can play? Any ideas?
