Finding and Making Patterns

We have been learning about patterns in Daily 3 Math. First the teacher makes some patterns ('I do it'), then we make one together ('we do it'), then the children make one on their own ('you do it').

 

    

 

We have shared discussions about patterns we notice in the days of the week, numbers and counting, weather and seasons. There are patterns everywhere! Patterns can help us understand how things work. 

This morning we tried a counting pattern called 'skip counting' to count to the number 20 (which is today's date).
