Why do we learn about pattern?
Children love to find patterns in the world around them. Patterns help children understand change and that things happen over time. Patterns are things that repeat in a logical way, like vertical stripes on a sweater. They can be numbers, images or shapes. For example, a pattern can be made out of plastic animals alternating between two and four legged animals or animals that swim versus animals that fly.

Parents Workshop: Parents and Children making patterns together:
We enjoyed getting our parents to help us make some ab or abc patterns.
