 Creating Patterns with Early Learners

My School
Included in this pack:
• 4 ABAB pattern strips for the children to complete. Any of the hands-on pattern
strips can be used as a teaching tool in a small group, or as an individual center. You
will get best results by printing the pattern strips on cardstock. Laminate if desired.
• 1 ABB pattern strip
• 1 AAB pattern strip.
• 1 ABC pattern strip.
• Extension strips – tape or glue one or more of these to the end of the basic pattern
strips to lengthen them, and provide spaces for the children to add cards to
continue/complete the patterns.
• Set of picture cards to use to continue the patterns. Print several pages.
• 3 cut and paste activity pages in b/w for individual follow-up table work.
Perceiving and analyzing a pattern can be taught, but it is also a developmental skill. Offer
plenty of practice with the ABAB pattern strips before proceeding to more complex
patterns.
