I like the the idea for using books to look for patterns. I enjoy getting the children’s involvement and watch their understanding grow as they are learning. So many things to talk about in books.

The book I like to read is “The very busy spider” and I add motions of clap hands and then slap knees when it says “she is very busy spinning her web” and then I add “she works and works and works” after ” “she is very busy spinning her web”. The kids join in and then remember the predictability of the words and the actions.

As an art museum educator by training, I’ d like fellow teachers to consider using works of art to identify and replicate patterns. Connecting these images to local people and places would enrich the experience.

It’s always fun to use books with patterns. Can’t wait to try these new titles!

Stories with patterns in them are always such fun read alouds and hold their attention. I just love the literature/math connection!

My class of young 2’s loves the book Chika Chika Boom Boom because they can get involved with the reading. I was not aware it was because of a pattern. I guess I didn’t put that much thought into it because we just like having fun together and reading great books. Does any one have other suggestions of pattern books for a young two year old class.

I had not really thought of that type of reading as a lesson in patterns. I have several books already that have this type of patterning and I will be reading them a little differently from now on

We do a ton of patterning in our classroom. The children love anything that is a pattern, and with practice, have begun to search them out all around them! Love the Napping House!!!!

Books are an awesome way to include pattern exercises! I hadn’t really thought about it much before this post. Thank you!
