Les regularites

Last week we began looking at patterns. We have been looking and listening for patterns around the classroom, in our daily lives at home and throughout the day. We have created patterns using colours and tiles and blocks, and have continued patterns that were already started. We are practicing finding the part of the pattern that repeats. We will be learning to compare and contrast patterns. Today, we looked at a couple of different striped snakes and compared the patterns on them. This was really important, because one of the snakes is poisonous and the other is not. We made up our own two snakes with different patterns in our math journals and compared the two patterns on them.
Coral snake - poisonous!
 
Scarlet Kingsnake - not poisonous
