Monday Warm--up: Complete the Pattern
Beleive it or not - Recognizing patterns is one of the earliest 'intelligent' functions that we develop in early childhood.
It forms the basis of how we learn about the world, we expect certain things to remain constant, other things to change, and to be able to function we need to be able to differentiate between the two. We need to make educated guesses of what comes next.
When a baby or toddler sees its mom taking its cup to the kitchen sink, he/she learns the answer to "what comes next"
In todays warm-up I ask you to complete the pattern. Follow the link below and look at the 4 grids. Can you determine the pattern - How was it created, what would a 4th grid look like?
Tip: Those of you with kids just starting school might have a better chance. Show this to your kids and see if they can figure it out ;-)
Enjoy !
