* there are several uses of the word 'pattern',
|}
* patterns can be recorded or described using various techniques, but they are essentially mathematical phenomena.<br />
 
Students should be more able to:
* skim, to obtain an overview and help plan their study,
* make observations and express themselves clearly,
* make brief notes,
* notice differences and similarities in patterns.
