Pattern Activities for Kids Math Play

Patterns are a beginner math exercise that we saw a lot of in preschool and Kindergarten.  Starting with an AB pattern and working up to ABC, ABA, and ABCD, patterns are just the beginning of a math foundation.  We’re always pointing out patterns in our play, and it seems like it helped once Big Sister made her way into the pattern world of Kindergarten.  When I saw a Pattern Activity on Share It Saturday this week, I knew we had to find more for pattern fun.  We’ll be using these pattern ideas with the younger kids.
