Today we starting Unit #1 of the Math Makes Sense program called Exploring Patterns. By the end of this unit students will be able to sort objects using a single attribute (e.g. colour or size). They will also be able to demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns with 2 or 3 elements (triangle, circle, triangle, circle, etc. or clap, sit, stand, clap, sit, stand etc.) by identifying, reproducing, extending and creating patterns using manipulatives, sounds and actions. Patterns are so much fun for kids! Ask your child to look around their house for patterns as well as their clothing.
