introduction to mathematics and sequencing using patterns
The preschoolers had a howling good time today when they used the halloween cards to create different patterns. We created AB patterns along with AAB patterns. Most children were able to extend the pattern I created, independently. The next step is for the children to create and extend their own patterns. We will continue patterning in math through the end of October. They are doing a GREAT job. Keep practicing at home…and have fun! Helpful Hint: Use the upcoming BUCKETFUL of halloween candy, before you begin to pass it out to the trick-or-treaters, to create yummy patterns (i.e. nerds-candy bar-lollipop; nerds-candy bar-lollipop; nerds-candy bar-lollipop).
