ICE CREAM PATTERNS + 1-2-3 COME FIND ME

August 30, 2012 by teacherideafactory

Sorry for the delay in posting this sweet friends.  I had a last minute doctor’s appointment down in the city today and was frantically setting up for a sub last night and just ran out of time.  

In Monday’s post I blogged about patterning and posted a little ice cream pattern worksheet.  I also mentioned a little craftivity that went with it.  I know patterning isn’t part of the common core, but I still think it is still a valid concept (especially when you throw numbers in . . . great call, Fran).  Also, I have found that spending a few days at the beginning of the year playing around with this concept is the perfect way to build them up for our long afternoons that are jam-packed with math, phonics, and specials.  

On that note, here’s my ice cream pattern craft.  The kids were given 6 circles and a triangle and were asked to create a pattern by coloring the “scoops.”  In past years, I had die-cut circles in various colors for them to use.  However, this “coloring” version was so much better!  I could also see if they could build a pattern on their own.  I also could pinpoint who was struggling “putting it together.” My sweeties had an absolute ball with this.  Take a look-see . . . 

She wanted a picture of herself “eating” her ice cream!
These look super cute up on one of our math bulletin boards!
Interested in doing this with your classy-class?  Just click on the link below to snag your free templates.  I also attached a copy of the follow up worksheet that my kiddos completed for Good Morning Work today!

    Friend I just wanted to say that I miss you now that school is under-way and I have so much less blog stalking time. But I'm so happy to have a moment tonight catch up on your posts. This activity, as always, is awesome. You are full of awesome freebies. If there was an "Awesome Freebie Giver" award – I would give it to you!! 🙂

    Your ice cream pattern freebie was just what I needed today. My firsties had so much fun coloring, cuting and glueing their ice cream. It was so much fun and they were learning too!!

    Thanks!!
