Foam Counting and Patterns

How we did it:
Materials List
- foam adhesive shapes
- paper
-
We started by creating a pattern by using pairs of each shape on the first line. We then counted them.
-
We then repeated the pattern on the second line.
-
We talked about patterns and sets. There were two different sets of each animal or insect. For instance their were two different set of frogs- 2 green and two pink which equals 4 total frogs.
-
We then counted them all, one through twelve and also counted them in two's.
-
The nice thing about using adhesive foam is they are removable. We removed them and made a different pattern. We added one ladybug and then one frog and alternated between the two. We then counted them. This is a simple and fun way for children to explore with counting and patterns!
