The Mystery Rule

AI spots patterns, then guesses. Meet the AI Loop.

Links: CS, maths

The signature activity

The teacher sorts objects into two hoops using a secret rule; the class learns, spots, guesses and checks, then pupils invent rules for each other.

Learning intentions

  • I can spot a pattern and a rule.
  • I can say the four steps of the AI Loop.
  • I can make a secret rule for my partner.

The slides

Teacher notes and answers sit in the speaker notes of every slide, and printable resources are at the end of the deck.
