Patterns

We begin our pattern unit with an observation walk-looking for patterns throughout the school. The children learn early on that a pattern is something that is predictable, and that helps  you identify  "what comes next." We now know that numbers are patterns (4 comes after 3 every time!) and we will begin to take apart our patterns to discover units of the patterns.  

The children are given a variety of materials with which to construct patterns during free choice time. 

 We played a game which was about figuring out "what comes next" in a pattern.

Until Next Time,
