Teachers, save “Popcorn Patterns” to assign it to your class.

1. Click on the button. 2. Say each pattern out loud. Each one is patterned by color or size. 3. Use the tool to complete each pattern. (Their are extra popcorn pieces so the last couple aren't completed by process of elimination.) 4. Click the green to submit. Simplify: * Cover all but the row being worked on. * Only do the top and third row (ab patterns using color only) * Just have your child name the colors or count the popcorn without completing the pattern. Extend: * Have your child try to find a pattern at home, inside or out (striped shirt, striped caterpillar, etc.) * Have your child make their own popcorn pattern on page 2 of the response template. * Have your child create a pattern out of materials they find at home, inside or out (big glass - little glass, or leaf - rock, etc.) Core Standards: * Math 3yr.2.5 - Identify simple patterns in the environment and begin to duplicate and extend simple patterns (for example, ababab). * Math 4yr.2.5 - Duplicate, extend, and create simple patterns (for example, ababab).
