Identifying the Patterns
Apple, banana, apple, banana...what's next? Youngsters practice recognizing patterns using these object sequences. For the first four patterns, they examine the start of a set, find the pattern, and complete the subsequent drawings in...
Curated OER
Investigation - Patterns/Functions
Students explore one-to-one correspondence. Through activities, students examine rhythm and patterns. From the patterns discovered, students create a visual representation of the pattern with blocks.
