Algebra in Kindergarten?
October 08, 2009
The Kindergartners in Mrs. Prokop's class have been finding patterns everywhere. Since patterning is an Algebra skill we know it must be important. Learning about patterns will help prepare us for High School.
We can make patterns with our bodies like the first picture. Can you tell what the pattern is? Is it AB, ABC, or AAAB?
Jy could make his pattern go on and on. He copied the beginning like the chart then had to add more unifix cubes to keep it going.
We found patterns all over. Ashton came to school one day and announced he had an ABCD pattern on his shirt! Click on the last picture to see all kinds of patterns.
