ABAB Patterns Please

Add a touch of winter flair to geometry practice with a pattern block mat shaped as a snowflake. Preschoolers and kindergartners can work on both shape recognition and pattern identification as they form beautiful snowflakes.

Follow the pattern to find what comes next. Youngsters analyze shape patterns to continue the sequence in the provided space. The three patterns increase in difficulty, and then scholars have a chance to create two of their own....

What's the pattern? Youngsters examine four sets of sequential images to detect a pattern and continue it onto a fourth image. Ask them to verbalize what they noticed and how they continued this pattern. Consider extending the concept...

The hunt is on! Send young mathematicians on a search for shapes in the first lesson of this two-part series. Each time a child finds a hidden shape, he draws it on his paper, and continues searching for the rest. Perform this activity...

Reinforce pattern recognition by playing the pattern practice game. This game asks students to recognize and name the pattern types. Students score points when they answer the question, what comes next. Tip: Another fun way to reinforce...

Students extend and create patterns. Through a variety of activities, they discover patterns as they exist in math and their everyday lives. Students create a necklace that represents a pattern.

First graders participate in hands-on activities and use objects to create patterns. They observe a PowerPoint lesson describing matching objects and patterns. In groups, 1st graders complete geometry computer activities such as planting...

Students construct patterns with apples. In this mathematical thinking and patterning lesson, students compare and contrast several types of apples. Students complete patterns with a SmartBoard activity, and then draw apple patterns on...

Young scholars explore how shapes can make patterns then make connections as to how elements in a pattern relate to one another. In this matter of pattern lesson plan, students create a multi-folded paper snowflake. Young scholars engage...

Young scholars work with patterns. In this pattern lesson, students find AB patterns in nature and the manmade world. They create their own AB pattern using math manipulatives and visual arts.
