My Project

Thank you for helping my students learn the many different ways to experience and create patterns! These items include different methods and ways to help students understand the concept of patterns, and continuing patterns/designs! Learning to build, sort, and recognize pattern formations, as well as be able to create patterns and block designs based off of the visual aides is an essential tool needed for math and characteristics of things.

Being able to have many copies of the same puzzles and patterns will enable us as teachers to have multiple learners in a group at once using more than one version of the same puzzle!

The STEM component is also an essential life skill that involves critical thinking, focus, and imagination!
