Young children are naturally interested in patterns and locating patterns in the world around them. They enjoy learning about patterns in stories, rhymes, songs, poems, music and stories, and they are eager to experiment with creating patterns using classroom materials. They have examined patterns in wallpaper, tiles, carpeting, on animals, and geometric designs on buildings, and recognize patterns in their lives (eg. daily routines) and in nature (eg. the seasons).
Through first-hand experiences, our students are exploring patterns by learning to create, identify and extend a variety of patterns of increasing complexity using classroom objects, actions, sounds, pictures, letters, and numbers.
