Patterns

We've been learning about patterns in math class. Repeating patterns have a unit that repeats over and over.

Blue, yellow, red... repeat!

Growing patterns add something each time. Shrinking patterns take away something each time. We made steps out of cubes to demonstrate.

the blue blocks are the "people" on the steps

We applied what we learned about patterns with shapes and colors to numbers, too. Counting by 1s, 2s, 5s, or 10s creates a growing pattern in which you add the same number every time!
