When we make patterns, we name them. We can describe the pattern using the attribute(s) that we used. For example, we can name this pattern @@ ## @@ ##
Red, red, black, black.
Or we could name it: A, A, B, B.
Using letters helps us compare patterns more easily.
For example: @ # @ # @ # and & $ & $ & $
are both AB patterns.
It is easier to see that these 2 patterns are the same kind of pattern when we name them using letters.
Here are some photos of patterns that were made today, Thursday, November 15. (Ask your child if his/her pattern is in any of the photos.):
