questions.

Draw the repeated shapes.

Write the repeated colors. Yellow Blue Red

in a pattern.

Double Patterns Tip

Patterns are made up of different properties including: color, shape, direction, number, reversal, etc. A color of the shapes.
pattern that uses two of these properties is called a double pattern.
When developing pattern recognition, students may be unable to separate the different properties. The Rules 17
ability to observe one property amongst many must be developed through guidance.
Have the students think about the rules of each property to find the pattern by asking questions such as, It is difficult for students to identify two
“How does the color change?” or “How do the shapes change?” This will help the students focus their characteristics at once. Guide the students to
attention to one property. find the change of one characteristic. After that,
have them find the pattern of the next

Find the pattern by observing the change of

the colored location.

Manipulatives for Patterns 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th

Creative and critical thinking skills can be enhanced with manipulatives. For practice with patterns, black and 9
white rocks are a great tool. Yet they are limited in color and size. The following shows a variety of
manipulatives that can be used to build patterns. Tip

These manipulatives can be used not only for patterns but also for categorizing, building number sense,
building spatial sense and more. This results in a comprehensive ability in mathematics. Rules 19

students to use rocks to make their own patterns since reverse patterns are difficult for them.
