Today I am practising: sorting items by whether they can continue a given AB pattern
1
For red, blue, red, sort blue and yellow under can continue or cannot continue.
2
For circle, square, circle, sort square and triangle.
3
For clap, tap, clap, sort tap and clap for the next spot.
4
For big, little, big, sort little and medium.
5
Draw one candidate that can continue your own AB pattern and one that cannot.
6
Tell an adult why one candidate does not belong.
- Keep the model visible while the child sorts each pair.
- Ask 'What should the next part be?' before naming either candidate.
- After sorting, place the correct candidate into the row to make the answer concrete.
