Nursery Maths: Block 19: Making Patterns Together
Nursery maths lesson pack: Making patterns together | Summer term
Support early pattern recognition with this nursery maths lesson pack on making patterns together, aligned with the EYFS maths framework and White Rose progression. Part of the Summer term scheme, this unit helps the children explore, copy and continue simple repeating patterns through music, movement and practical play.
Across the six small steps, the children create patterns using sounds, actions and everyday materials. They begin by joining in with rhythm and movement before moving on to recognising, copying and continuing simple AB patterns.
Through structured activities and purposeful play, the children develop confidence in identifying patterns, describing sequences and predicting what comes next.
