Description: Strengthen your child's thinking, problem-solving, and logic skills with these 46 puzzles. The puzzles use patterns of pictures, shapes, and letters that get progressively more difficult (from 2 pictures/items to 3 pictures/items). Supported by sound for instructions. "The study of pattern is the foundation of mathematics. Mathematics is described as the science of pattern. It is the thread that binds all parts of mathematics together. Discovering patterns makes life easier; patterns are predictable.* Searching for patterns trains the brain to look critically. Looking for patterns helps make connections between concepts in mathematics and other curricular areas. Looking for patterns helps encourage students to be persistent and better problem solvers – they know there is predictability in mathematics and that mathematics makes sense. Pattern can be used as a self-check device. Patterns help students when they begin to make generalizations about number." CCSS Standards covered: Mathematical Practices 7: Mathematically proficient students look closely to discern a pattern or structure. Young students, for example, might notice that three and seven more is the same amount as seven and three more, or they may sort a collection of shapes according to how many sides the shapes have.
