What Have We Been Doing in Math?

For the past few weeks, we have been focusing on Patterning in math.  We have been learning to identify, extend, reproduce and create patterns.  In addition, we have been learning to describe patterns in different ways.
For example,  * * + * * + * * +, we could describe this pattern as 'red, red, blue' or as 'star, star, plus' or as 'A,A,B'. 

We have also begun to notice patterns when we count the days of school and record the numbers.  For example, all the 40-something numbers start with a '4'...4 and 0 for 40, 4 and 1 for 41, 4 and 2 for 42, etc.

Lastly, but certainly not least, we are noticing patterns in our environment and within nature like the seasons.

Here are some photos of patterns that the children in our class made today:
