Patterns & Classification

Identifying, creating, extending, and describing repeating patterns, and sorting objects by shared attributes.

Examples & Achievements

• Recognizes and extends a simple AB pattern (red, blue, red, blue, ?)
• Creates own patterns with objects, colors, or sounds
• Sorts objects by one attribute (color, shape, size, type)
• Sorts the same set of objects in different ways
• Identifies the "rule" in a pattern

How to Measure

• Extends an AB and ABC pattern correctly
• Creates an original repeating pattern with 3+ repetitions
• Sorts a set of 12+ objects by 2 different attributes on separate trials
• Describes the rule of a given pattern ("it goes big, small, big, small")
