Patterns Exploration!
Healthy eating is key to a good lifestyle and positive mental wellbeing. However, many cooks and chefs are unsure of how to create healthy recipes and meals.
On this course, you’ll learn what a healthy diet really looks like from top professionals. You’ll get an extensive introduction to what a healthy diet looks like in practice, and learn how to practically implement this knowledge into your own cooking straight away.
Hands-On Activities
Teachers provide various materials such as beads, blocks, colors, or shapes for children to create their patterns. They guide children in arranging these materials in a sequential manner, helping them understand the pattern’s structure and repetition. For instance, a pattern might be blue-yellow-blue-yellow (AB pattern) or square-circle-square-circle (AB pattern).
By using diverse materials, hands-on activities, and interactive discussions, educators can effectively teach preschoolers about patterns and sequencing. These activities not only build their understanding of patterns but also enhance their prediction, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills in a playful and engaging manner.

1. Introduction to Patterns
Educators start by introducing the concept of patterns, explaining that they are arrangements that repeat in a logical way. They might showcase simple patterns like AB (red-blue-red-blue) or ABC (circle-square-triangle-circle-square-triangle) using visual aids or physical objects.
2. Identifying and Extending Patterns
Children are encouraged to identify patterns in their environment, whether it’s in the classroom, on their clothes, or in nature. Educators help them recognize more complex patterns and extend them by predicting the next elements in the sequence. For instance, if a pattern is red-blue-red-blue, children might predict that the next color would be red.
3. Problem-Solving and Application
As children become comfortable with basic patterns, educators introduce more challenging patterns and sequences. They engage children in problem-solving activities where they’re asked to continue or create patterns independently. For example, they might be given the start of a pattern and asked to complete it or asked to create their own sequence using a set of materials.
4. Group and Interactive Learning
Teachers encourage group discussions where children share and explain the patterns they’ve created or observed. They might engage children in pattern-related games or activities that reinforce their understanding of sequences, helping them internalize the concept through play and social interaction.
