About This Lesson
This patterning activity will serve to prepare students to participate in two patterning activities in the Cyberchase exhibit, Poddle Family Patterns and Playing with Patterns (music patterns). Students identify, duplicate, and extend simple patterns (e.g., patterns made with shapes) as preparation for creating rules that describe numerical relationships. Back in the classroom, children can demonstrate their knowledge by creating various patterns using beads.Appropriate for Early Childhood Education (Pre-K and younger).
