Curriculum Guides

Grade Level: Kindergarten

Content Area: Patterns

Skills: Left to Right

Prerequisites:

Instructional Practices: Estimations, Reasoning, Connections to the Real World

Materials Needed:

Teacher Made Pattern Sleeve and Slip (See Teacher Made Materials)

Technology: Pattern Block

Activity:

Teacher slides the pattern strip from the sleeve as the students "read" the pattern. The teacher should expose the pattern one object at a time requiring students to re-read the "whole" pattern each time.

Pattern Sleeves should be used all year long to continue the development of the skills.

Theme Ideas:

Use different pictures on your pattern sleeves to intergrate theme or unit of study. As the year progresses, change your pattern strips to develop into stronger more complex patterns. Remember to use both sides of your strip to save paper and space.
