Description

How to teach Patterns

Using Patterns Activity, students identify the pattern and then complete the pattern by drawing the picture that comes next.

Patterns are all around us. By recognizing patterns, students build an understanding of numbers and sequence. This activity helps your students look for patterns in sequences.

The object of the game is to be the fastest player to extend and fill their pattern strips. Students select 2-3 pattern strips and the corresponding colored square/picture pieces to play with. Using the spinner, players take turns spinning to see which colored square/picture piece they land on. If the spinner stops on a piece that is the next in their pattern, the player may fill in the corresponding piece on their pattern strip. If the spinner stops on a picture that is not next on any of their pattern strips, the turn is skipped. The first player to fill all of their pattern strips is the winner. Remember, patterns must be filled in order!
