The World of Repeating Patterns!

Lesson Plan - Get It!

Audio:

Patterns are all around us—they happen when something repeats over and over again.

You can spot them in colors, shapes, sounds, numbers, or even your daily routine!

Think about this.

• When you wake up, do you usually brush your teeth, eat breakfast, and get dressed?

That's a pattern—a routine that repeats every day.

A pattern has a unit, which is the part that keeps repeating.

For example: If the unit is heart-square, the pattern becomes heart-square, heart-square, heart-square, heart-square, heart-square.

Try some practice!

1. Gather some small objects in two colors, like buttons, building bricks, or beads.

2. Use these objects to create different patterns, such as red, blue, red, blue or circle, circle, square, circle, circle, square.

3. See how many unique patterns you can create. Challenge yourself to find five!

Now, try a body pattern.

• Clap.
• Stomp.
• Clap.
• Stomp.

• What comes next?

You got it—clap!

Patterns don't just look fun—they help us predict what comes next.
