PK.A.1.2 Recognize, duplicate, and extend repeating patterns involving manipulatives, sound, movement, and other contexts.

In a Nutshell

Pre-K students will begin to work with patterns throughout the year. This process begins with identifying a pattern and being able to distinguish it from a random assortment. Next, students engage in reproducing various types of patterns in different ways. The final stage involves students being able to continue a given pattern. These skills are practiced and carried over into kindergarten.

Student Actions	Teacher Actions
Build conceptual understanding by recognizing and identifying patterns around them. Advance mathematical reasoning by copying patterns with manipulatives, sound, movement, etc. Make generalizations when continuing or extending a given pattern.	Promote problem solving by providing opportunities for students to explore patterns in multiple ways. Support productive struggle by allowing students to copy patterns, with clapping, movement, manipulatives, etc. Pose purposeful questions to encourage students to extend patterns (“what would come next?” and “why?”)
Key Understandings	Misconceptions
A pattern is a repeating arrangement that follows a rule. Once the rule is broken, the sequence is no longer a pattern.	A pattern is a just a sequence. The elements of a pattern unit can change within a pattern. The order of elements in a pattern unit is interchangeable.
