Pattern Workshops

The preps have been taking part in a mathmatical workshop focusing on pattern. They have been  goodreally focused on the task and have demonstrated a good understanding of the fundementals of patterns.

The children came up with the following exclamations about patterns.
'Patterns are repeated'
'We can make patterns with shapes, colours and numbers'
'There are patterns on clothes'
'There is a base pattern that is repeated'
'We can use people to make patterns - tall and short' 

Students created their own patterns using objects found in the neighbourhood. These included natural materials found outside, magnetic letters, crayons, pencils, toy cars, dinosaurs and shapes.
