What comes next? This is a common question when dealing with patterns, and readers learn how to find out the answer as they explore fresh and fun examples of patterns. Age-appropriate text is presented in a simple way, allowing early learners to discover this essential information independently or with an adults assistance. Vibrant photographs fill each page, making this common math curriculum topic enjoyable for young readers. With each turn of the page and each colorful and creative pattern, early learners will discover that math can be engaging and fun.
This does not introduce the concept of pattern in any meaningful way, and it uses an overly broad and inconsistent definition of pattern. Is pattern about repetition? Is it just the configuration or design/form of something?
The book is also mostly not asking kids/readers to engage with patterns. Identifying colors on a striped sock is not engaging with the pattern. Tracing a spiral staircase is not engaging with a pattern. There are a couple of "what patterns do you see?" pages near the end.
