Standards for Patterns
These pattern activities support early math standards connected to recognizing, copying and extending patterns.
Common Core State Standards
- CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP7: Look for and make use of structure. Kids find the part of the pattern that repeats and use it to decide what comes next.
Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines
- PK4.V.E.3: Child recognizes, duplicates, extends and creates patterns. Kids extend each pattern in the empty boxes.
Virginia Mathematics Standards of Learning
- K.PFA.1.a: Identify and describe the core found in repeating patterns. Kids say the part of the pattern that repeats.
- K.PFA.1.b: Extend a repeating pattern by adding at least two complete repetitions of the core to the pattern. Kids keep each pattern going.
Flower Patterns Continue AB gives preschool and kindergarten kids hands-on practice continuing AB patterns with colorful flowers, on a screen or on paper.
Each page starts a flower pattern. Kids drag or place flowers in the empty boxes to keep the pattern going.
Use the digital version for centers and distance learning. Print and laminate the pages and flower pieces for a hands-on math center.
How to Use Flower Patterns Continue AB
- Pick the Google Slides version, the Seesaw version or the printable pages.
- Kids say the flower pattern out loud.
- Kids find the part that repeats.
- Kids drag or place flowers in the empty boxes to continue the pattern.
- Kids read the whole pattern back to check it.
Small Group: Say each pattern together before kids fill in the boxes.
Math Center: Set out the printable pages with the cut-out pieces.
Easy Ways to Differentiate These Pattern Activities
Every group has a mix of math and fine motor skills. These simple changes keep the activity familiar while meeting each child where they are.
For Children Who Need More Support:
- Say the colors together first.
- Fill in the first box together.
- Give only the pieces kids need.
- Point to each piece as you say the pattern.
For On-Level Practice:
- Continue each pattern.
- Say the pattern out loud.
- Check the pattern with a partner.
- Work through the pages in order.
For an Extra Challenge:
- Make your own pattern.
- Try an ABB or ABC pattern.
- Name the core of the pattern.
- Use the pieces to make a longer pattern.
For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support:
- Say each color together and give plenty of wait time.
- Accept pointing, gestures, AAC or any communication method the child already uses.
- Dragging pieces builds mouse and touch screen skills.
- Cutting and placing the printable pieces build fine motor skills.
Flower Patterns Continue AB Is Perfect For:
- Preschool and pre-K
- Kindergarten
- Math centers
- Morning work
- Distance learning
- Special education
- ELL and multilingual learners
