COPY MY PATTERN

• Teacher builds a simple repeat pattern, using 4 of
the 6 bricks.

Q: Can you copy and continue my pattern?

• Teacher makes changes e.g. same pattern but now
has spaces in between.

Q: Can you change your pattern to look like mine?

Variations:
• Teacher builds a pattern - children look carefully
without touching their bricks.
• Cover the pattern and then let the children build the
pattern from memory.

REPEAT

PATTERNS

• Children use their 6 bricks to create their
own repeat pattern / shape by arranging and
orientating the bricks in certain ways. (colour
will not matter)
• Work with a partner - build patterns for each
other to copy.
• You can also include colour with 2 sets of 6
bricks.
• Try working with 3 / 4 people in a group -
explore patterning with all these bricks.
