We started our unit on patterns today. Patterns help children make connections, learn how to predict more accurately and learn sequencing as a few smaller aspects
Life is all about patterns. Everything around us has a pattern, something that keeps repeating, happening over and over. From the solar system, to the calendar system, our life source - breathe in and then breathe out, the 7 days of a week, the months of the year, etc. Our life is built on the mathematical principal of patterning. The quicker and more completely the kiddies understand that concept, the more completely and deeply they'll understand many more concepts surrounding their own lives, especially multiplication facts:)
The following is a video we watched today in class, that show us how to use the 100 chart to figure out patterns. Watch it again to get a deeper understanding:
