Increase Math Knowledge Through Patterns

The development of math concepts is like building a house.  Setting a strong foundation is important.  One of the layers of the foundation is patterns.  You can help your child develop the understanding of recognizing and creating patterns through various games.

One simple game is to clap with your hands or tap with your feet a rhythm.  Have your child repeat the pattern. Increase the difficulty of the pattern.  Then you can have your child say the word "clap" or "tap" with the movement.

Have fun and enjoy building this important skill!
