Patterns are arrangements of things that repeat in a logical way. These arrangements of colours, shapes, gestures, sounds, images, and numbers are a crucial concept for young children and contribute heavily to their early Mathematics understanding.
Have children create patterns using different coloured objects. These objects may be everyday objects such as bottle caps, buttons, sweets, toy building blocks, counters from board games etc.
