Patterns, Patterns, Everywhere!
We are learning about patterns in math. Today they were asked to make an AB pattern with unifix cubes. An AB pattern is an alternating pattern that uses two colors. One color is the A and the other is the B. Have your child make AB patterns at home using items around the house. For example, spoons and forks, rocks and buttons, etc. In the future we will learn to make more complex patterns. Knowing how to pattern and to be able to see patterns is a basic skill needed for a good math foundation.
