Learning to recognize
and create patterns helps cognitive development and is a basic component of
mathematical and organizational thinking. As young children learn to see
patterns in their world, they will be setting the foundation for higher level
thinking such as patterns in numbers, graphs, charts, and so on.
Audrey has grasped the simple concept of patterns. She is
developing an understanding that a pattern is determined by attributes; e.g., size,
color, shape. Working with small colored teddy bear counters, Audrey was
able to create and identify a pattern
as “blue, red, blue, red”. When asked what color will go next, she
responded "blue?" Audrey enjoys
working with the math manipulatives and practicing newly learned concepts.
