What comes next in this pattern, a kibble or a Milk Bone?
If you answered a kibble, you saw the pattern. Patterns are sequences that repeat in predictable ways. Mathematicians are always being challenged to find patterns based on a rule. Patterns can be found in nature, fabric, architecture, and numbers just to name a few examples. Patterns are everywhere!
For this activity, we challenge you to create patterns out of things you have around the house: Toys, socks, crayons, the list is limited only by your imagination. Have a family member try to find your pattern and tell you what comes next.
