Topic sequence
Follow it in order. Each topic assumes the one before it.
01Clap and Copy PatternsbeginnerClass 3 to 5Patterns repeat in a steady order. Clap along, copy the rhythm, and notice when something breaks the beat.15 min02What Comes Next?beginnerClass 3 to 5When you know the repeat unit, you can predict the next step. Look at the start and finish the pattern in your head.15 min03AB Patterns on PaperbeginnerClass 3 to 5Letter names like A and B make patterns easy to write. A-B-A-B on paper is the same idea as clap-stamp-clap-stamp.15 min04Growing PatternsbeginnerClass 3 to 5Some patterns get bigger each time instead of repeating the same size. One dot, then two, then three is a growing pattern.15 min05Pattern or Random?beginnerClass 3 to 5Not every line of shapes follows a rule. Learn to tell steady patterns apart from random mixes with no repeat.15 min06Find the Missing PiecebeginnerClass 3 to 5A blank box in the middle of a pattern is a puzzle. Use the rule before and after the gap to find what belongs there.15 min07Patterns in NaturebeginnerClass 3 to 5Stripes on animals, petals on flowers, and shells in spirals show patterns outdoors. Nature repeats rules without using paper.15 min08Patterns in SongsbeginnerClass 3 to 5Songs use repeating beats and choruses. Tap the rhythm, hum the refrain, and hear the pattern loop again.15 min09Make Your Own PatternbeginnerClass 3 to 5animated labYou know how to copy, predict, and fix patterns. Now invent one, test it on a friend, and improve the rule.15 min
