The Power of Patterns
Patterns are everywhere in our world, from the stripes on a zebra to the petals of a
flower. Understanding patterns not only fosters creativity but also lays the foundation for mathematical concepts such as sequencing, sorting, and problem-solving. By providing students with opportunities to identify, create, and extend patterns, we empower them to develop critical thinking skills and a deeper appreciation for the world around them.
