We have been working on patterning in math. This week students have been showing what they have learned by copying and extending patterns and then creating patterns of their own. They have used many different kinds of materials including the bugs, vehicles, dinosaurs and pattern blocks to name a few. What is really exciting is when they talk about patterns they see elsewhere in the classroom. "My shirt has a pattern." "Look at the dishes - yellow, red, yellow, red." Most of the students can talk about their patterns using colour words and some will describe the shapes too.
