Exploring the Jack and the Beanstalk Patterning Cards

The patterning cards can be placed in a center along with the objects you want children to pattern with. However, some children will just try to match the object with an object that is the same color. That means they aren’t figuring out the pattern.
Before placing them in a center, it might be helpful to work on the patterning cards with the whole class or small groups of children. It will give both you and your student time to talk about how to find a pattern. After finding the patterns, they can talk with you about how the pattern repeats on each card.
