To incorporate math patterns into our All About Me theme, I printed pictures of the girls and reviewed patterns we've made before. I gave them their set and had them "take turns" placing their picture in line on the table. I found that using the idea of items taking turns they seem to grasp the concept a lot better. We glued the pattern we made on a sentence strip (can use a wide strip of paper).
Then, I gave them a different picture of themselves along with a picture of both girls together to create a new pattern. We will add these to our Morning Meeting pocket chart to review daily.
Guru Moment: Patterns are heavily introduced in kinder and first grade so early exposure is a great way to prepare pre schoolers for important concepts such as patterns.
