This activity introduces patterns by building repeating sequences with blocks or beads.
We’ll cover:
-
Simple patterns: red-blue-red-blue.
-
Extension patterns: adding shapes and numbers.
-
Critical thinking: predicting what comes next.
-
Creative play: inventing original sequences.
Benefits:
-
Develops logic and sequencing.
-
Encourages creativity in problem-solving.
-
Makes abstract math visual and fun.
By building and predicting patterns, children understand structure, a key skill for advanced math concepts.
