How to Pattern With Unifix Cubes
- 1). Write a letter or number pattern on the board or on a sheet of paper; ABAB or 1212, for example.
- 2). Discuss the repetition of letters or numbers in the given pattern with students. Ask them to verbally repeat the series of letter or numbers in the pattern.
- 3). Provide students with Unifix cubes. Assign a color to a letter or number in the example pattern; red for A or 1 and yellow for B or 2, for example.
- 4). Encourage children to recreate the example pattern using the Unifix cubes; in this case, red, yellow, red, yellow, red, yellow.
- 5). Provide examples of more complex patterns and encourage children to use the Unifix cubes to recreate the patterns.
