Pattern Play
Fine Motor Coordination/Math Provide felt shapes and craft sticks. Model putting together a pattern, then pass an empty craft stick to a student to reproduce the pattern. Let each child create a pattern of his or her own and then hand the stick to someone else to copy.

Use this Color Patterns lesson that teaches your students how to make a pattern using three colors and then repeat the pattern on paper.

Calculator Pattern Puzzles
This activity is for Primary mathematics, including Kindergarten and grades 1 through 3. Students will recognize and explore the patterns based on their current concept level with numbers. First and Second Graders will instantly make connections to the idea of multiplication. Third Graders will refine and extend that same concept.
