Patterns


Our most recent math focus has been on patterns! We have been creating our own with pattern blocks and cubes, looking for them in our classroom and playground, and playing a game called "guess my pattern". You can play "guess my pattern" with your kindergartner...all you need to do is create a pattern with silverware, clothes, shoes, books, flowers in the garden, their toys, etc. (whatever is convenient) and have them guess what is going to come next...third...fifth...eleventh...I play it using kids :) sometimes its hair color, or clothes, or shoelaces...lots of room for creativity!
