Remember that as they place these objects Corn flake, brown M & M, cheerio, red M & M, Corn flake, brown M & M cheerio, red M & M.

Use cereal and M & Ms as a way to make patterns.You can also lay out the planets in the top of the egg carton in a pattern to follow. * Have them put each of the shapes you cut into the egg carton in the order you put on the guide paper. For example: star, triangle, circle, star, triangle, circle. Draw the shapes in a pattern they need to follow. Cut blank white paper the same size as the top of the egg carton. Cut colored paper into shapes to practice making patterns. Take a clean, empty egg carton to practice making patterns.You do need to find multiples of the same exact item in order to make at least two repeating patterns. Practice patterning with manipulative objects like Legos, blocks, or use common “found” objects like buttons, plumbing washers, bingo chips, twigs, rocks, leaves, plastic spoons, etc.If you have glue, you can have some of the patterns pasted to a blank sheet of paper to demonstrate patterning and place it on your display area (the fridge!).Remember to be a pattern, it needs to repeat itself at least two times! How many objects in a pattern can they make? Have the students challenge themselves with more difficult patterns.For example, “red satellite, then green planet, then blue satellite, red satellite, green planet, blue satellite” There must be at least two repeating arrangements to be a “pattern”. Use the definition of a pattern: things are arranged according to a rule.Once they are comfortable with the two alternating patterns, you can introduce the coloring experience.Once they are familiar with the concept of patterning, have them search in the cut planets for the exact next matching planet in the sequence.
