Pre-K-2
In this activity, students create patterns using connecting cubes and
describe various patterns they find in different sequences of cubes.
Students explore and describe connecting patterns, and extend their
patterns using a sequence of sounds and shapes. Students investigate
various ways to interpret the same sequence of cubes by exploring ways
to describe patterns translating from one representation to another.
