Summary:With practice, children will be able to copy patterns that they see, find what's missing from a pattern, extend a pattern, and create their own patterns (see the progression chart on page 22). Things to notice as children play When children are proficient at making a pattern that follows the same rule as another pattern, and when they are able to use letters to label the pattern (such as an AB pattern), they have a strong understanding of patterns. Progression of Pattern Concepts for Young Children This chart offers different and challenging pattern activities you can do with children. The chart may also be used to increase the level of difficulty of the pattern activities you offer in order to enhance young children's learning.
