Patterns and Sequencing

The knowledge of patterns enables children to make predictions and solve problems. Recognizing patterns in our world helps mathematical thinking. Patterns and Sequencing helps children identify patterns; letter, number, color and shape patterns; letter and number sequencing. Always work with your child in a quiet setting, Recent research has found that young children’s ability to spot mathematical patterns can predict later mathematical achievement, more than other abilities such as counting. Research has also found that pattern awareness can vary a great deal between individuals: we have all noticed children who arrange objects in radial patterns or make constructions with reflective symmetry, while others pay no attention to pattern at all.
