PURPOSE To teach simple pattern recognition, in the form of ABABAB. The difference between Patterns 1 and Duplicate the Patterns 1D: 1 requires filling in a black space in a pattern. 1D requires duplicating the entire pattern using different images. This is part of a series of lessons on pattern recognition** Subject: Cognitive Skills - Pattern Recognition Grade Level: Lesson 1D is for young children at the Pre-K, K level. ________________________ INSTRUCTIONS Figure out the pattern shown. Then create the same pattern but using different images. Farm animals are used for the pattern examples. Shapes are used for duplicating the pattern. The lesson starts with an example. The example can be skipped by pressing on the "Skip example" arrow. The example can also be repeated multiple times. Fill in the blank at the question mark by clicking on one of the answer buttons. Repeat for each of the six blank spots. When finished, press the "Check Answer" arrow. Program will tell you if you're right or wrong. Click on the "Next" arrow to advance to the next question. Program keeps score of correct and incorrect answers. Get 10 correct and you win. ________________________ ** LESSONS INDEX BASIC PATTERNS Fill in the blank space in a pattern (uses only livestock images) 1 = ABABAB with ABABA_, blank at end only, starts w Example 2 = ABABAB position of blank varies, w Example 3 = ABBABB position of blank varies, w Example 4 = AABAAB position of blank varies, w Example 5 = Review ABABAB, ABBABB, AABAAB, no Example 6 = AABBCC, position of blank varies, no Example 7 = ABCABC, position of blank varies, no Example 8 = Review ABABAB, ABBABB, AABAAB, AABBCC, ABCABC DUPLICATE the PATTERNS Create the same pattern as shown but using different images (guide uses all livestock, but answer buttons use various items - geometric shapes, children, clothing) 1D = AB livestock & shapes, w Example 3D = ABB livestock & shapes, w Example 4D = AAB livestock & Peanuts children, without Example 5D = Review AB ABB AAB, livestock & clothing (hat, boots, slaps) no Example 8D* = not available yet. Review ABABAB, ABBABB, AABAAB, AABBCC, ABCABC
