The Pattern Museum

Our culminating project for our pattern unit, during which we've constructed patterns, played "what's next?" games, and deconstructed patterns, is a Pattern Museum. We keep track of all the patterns that the children have made, both on paper and with manipulatives, and share them with the first graders, administrative staff, and the PreK's. It's wonderful to see the children exhibit pride both in curating their work and explaining it to their audience. Enjoy!

first, we make sure to make and hand out invitations!

and then it's time for our museum displays!

Patterns

According to our good friend Shelli (math teacher), if our eyes can see patterns then it means we will be really good at math. So, off we went to search for patterns in the school, and we'll be learning about patterns for the next few weeks.

Until Next Time,
