Additive Pattern Art

Last week as we learned about additive patterns, we talked about how there are patterns everywhere in life. We talked about how patterns can add beauty to objects and can look like art. So, the students used three and four step cards to build various additive patterns. They first built the patterns with color tiles and then recreated the pattern, step-by-step, using paper color tiles which they glued on to black construction paper. They then shared at least one thing they learned about additive patterns.

  1. Your idea of using a stick to seperate the core pattern is so visual. I used it today for our pocket chart math and it really had an effect with my kinders. They asked for their own sticks and proceeded to isolate the core. Thanks for sharing! Liz Mccaw from Nanaimo BC
