After reading, we used unifix cubes to reproduce the different patterns from the story. We predicted what would come next when the patterns were continued. Recognizing and extending patterns are early and essential math skills that are important in the development of logical thinking.
In our learning groups this week, we have been using Stuart J. Murphy’s book, Beep Beep, Vroom Vroom, to practise and reinforce several math and language concepts. In the story, Molly loves to play with her big brother’s red, yellow, and blue toy cars when he leaves the room. After repeated attempts, Molly manages to line up the cars in just the right order before Kevin returns. As we read the story, the children described the patterns in which Molly places the cars on the shelf. As well as recognizing a colour pattern, the students also pointed out patterns in the shapes of cars and the sounds that each type makes. Bravo!
