An understanding of pattern and structure is essential to developing mathematical thinking. Patterns are things that repeat themselves in a sequence.
Music and dance activities are a natural, developmentally-appropriate way to introduce the maths concept of patterns to young children.
Then, patterns can also be taught using colours and shapes.
Other natural patterns that occur around us are things like days of the week, seasons of the year, etc.
Join teacher Inger this week for music and dance classes that focus on introducing the concept of patterns!
