What is the ABC pattern?
Being able to spot and continue a pattern is a great early math skill often taught in preschool and kindergarten.
Children who are able to understand patterns have a strong foundation for future counting, geometry, and number operations.
There are many different patterns we can make and children usually start with the simplest AB patterns. As they gain the basic understanding, we can move on to more challenging patterns such as ABC or ABB patterns.
So what is an ABC pattern exactly?
The ABC pattern is a set sequence of three events, in our case three pictures, that repeat in the same order.
In school, children often use color cubes, counting bears or fruit, as well as beads to create this pattern.
Imagine making a bracelet with three different bead colors – blue, red, and green. To make an ABC pattern, you follow the same order – blue, red, green, blue, red, green, etc. until the bracelet is finished.
There are many ways to play with patterns and children usually love to make them.
And the more practice they get, the more likely they are to generalize this skill into their everyday life. They will start to notice patterns everywhere!
