Students are learning that a pattern has a core that repeats. Seeing patterns involves recognizing repeating parts, predicting what comes next, and extending a pattern. Children in Kindergarten like to build and talk about AB patterns as well as more complex ones (AAB or ABC). We have been working on patterns that involve position, colour, size, shape, action, and sound. Children are learning to copy, create, and extend simple patterns using a variety of materials and actions. They are also learning to show the same pattern in different ways.
William was so excited about seeing the blog at home. He was especially excited about talking about the blue, yellow, blue, yellow pattern :-)z
