Teach visual discrimination and patterning skills with this engaging kit that includes 105 colorful shapes and 10 two-sided learning mats. Children use the shapes to extend a simple, repeating pattern on the mats. Each mat offers two levels of difficulty. Includes an activity guide. These Patterning Mats help promote these important developmental skills in young learners: — recognizing simple patterns; — describing, extending, and explaining the next element in a simple, repeating pattern (problem solving and prediction); — sort and organize shapes; — identifying and describing 5 geometric shapes (square, circle, star, triangle and rectangle) For use with Grades K-2.
