For our math unit on patterning we created dino shape mats for the children to create their own dino spike patterns with. We set out different baskets with pattern blocks in them for the children to use for their pattern making these baskets where then placed onto activity trays with a dino shape mat.
We found that by us adding the dino element to the activity the boys were more inclined to wanting to working on the project. It also kept their interest for a long amount of time.
Great idea, I had a heck of a time trying to help my son with this last year when they were taking it in school. I must remember this for the next child!!! Thanks.
