Pre-K Make Your Own AB Pattern
Name:

Today I am practising: creating and explaining an original two-part pattern
1
Draw circle, square, circle, square, circle, square.
2
Use two crayons to make a six-place color AB pattern.
3
Choose two motions and perform your pattern three times.
4
Make an AB pattern with stickers or drawn shapes for an adult to finish.
5
Write or dictate the names of your two repeating parts.
6
Ask an adult to point to the next part. Tell them whether they are right.
- Limit choices to two materials so creating does not become a sorting task.
- Ask the child to say the two-part repeat before adding the third repetition.
- Celebrate a pattern only after it repeats at least three times; then invite the child to explain it.
