Did you know that the ability to recognize pattern is one of the most important intelligence skill ? Aside from mathematics, it can also be found in behaviour, routines and in nature.
Speaking of routines, we came across this activity in our workbook of pattern relating to a series of movements of a certain object. Take for example this link cubes in a grid. Here Mavi has to guess my next move using the patterns of how I remove the cubes from the grid.
Amazing isn’t it? We are so used of learning patterns of numbers, colors and shapes and patterns of movements, behaviours and such didn’t even crossed my mind!
And you know what I’m thinking as well? We can also do dancing patterns!
Now, I just wanted to share this too. As part of learning patterns, Mavi developed a “stairs”
Then he realised that all number combinations are number bonds or parts of number 10!

He’s like “they go together!”. I love it when he discovers and learn things on his own. Amazing!
