In Grades 3 and 4, we need to be able to create and describe repeating patterns with multiple attributes that change. In this activity, we used pattern blocks to create a repeating pattern. We used a straw to mark the end of the pattern core (in French, we call this the "motif"). Mme took a photo of our pattern. We will describe our patterns to her in an oral conference, to complete this section of our patterning activities. Look at this slide show with us, and ask us to describe the patterns. This is a terrific way for us to get some extra practice!
