Repeating Patterns: Set One

       Very young children can make the process of identifying and copying patterns a kind of game. These playful routines are excellent for teaching pre-math and pre-reading skills to children ranging from age 3 to seven.

       Below is my simplest collection, using only two repeating shapes, in limited colors: blue, red, orange, green, white and yellow.

       If you are working with more than one child, you may wish to click directly on images to get them to focus on one pattern at a time. Watch your small group until every student has preformed the task satisfactorily and then move on to the next pattern.
