The Patterns Student Activity Book contains student activity pages that align with the lesson plans in the Patterns Parent Manual. Students use these pages to complete assignments, projects, and hands-on activities during a nine-week study of visual patterns, patterns in sounds and words, and patterns in nature and science.

If you are using the hard copy version of this concept with more than one child, you should order a separate Student Activity Book for each additional child you are teaching. 

The following examples highlight just a few of the ways students use the activity pages to organize their thinking, document their discoveries, and complete hands-on projects:

• Visual Patterns: Students complete illustrated patterns using bugs, colors, shapes, and objects, identify repeating sequences, and create their own patterns using activity pages and cutout pieces.
• Rhyming Words and Word Families: Students identify and sort rhyming words, complete word patterns, and create personalized books of rhyming sentences using the activity pages.
• Patterns in Nature: Students match patterns to animals, create their own animal patterns, and draw and label patterns they discover in plants, animals, and other natural objects.
• Graphs and Science Experiments: Students examine patterns in graphs and charts, record findings from sink-or-float experiments, and organize observations to determine whether patterns are present.

This Student Activity Book is designed for a nine-week study and includes the following units:

• Unit 1. Identifying and Creating Visual Patterns (3 weeks)
• Unit 2. Patterns in Sounds, Words, and Actions (3 weeks)
• Unit 3. Patterns in Your World (3 weeks)

The Student Activity Book is not designed to be used independently. The Patterns Parent Manual, required literature, and materials kit are also required to implement the curriculum.
