Combine math and classroom decor with our decorative apple pennants! I'm sharing them with you from my TpT store!
Use the yellow, pink and green pennants to create a repeating patterns. Make lots of different patterns with your students as a mini-lesson and then vote on the pattern to display in the classroom. A blackline version is available too if you'd prefer students to color or paint them!
Some patterns could be:
- pink, yellow, green, pink, yellow, green
- pink, pink, yellow, pink, pink, yellow
- green, pink, green, pink, green pink
I printed these pennants at 4-to-a-page to make them tiny!
As well as making and talking about the patterns with your class:
Movement Patterns
- ask your students how the pattern could be shown in movements
- e.g. pink, yellow, green could be jump, leap, hop, jump, leap, hop
- encourage students to perform a pattern in a movement or PE lesson
Circle Clap
- ask students how the pattern could be heard in sound
- e.g. pink, yellow, green could be clap, tap, click finger
- ask students to perform the pattern with sounds
Number Pattern
- ask students how the pattern could be shown with numbers
- e.g. pink, yellow, green could be 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3
- ask students to write the number pattern
Coloring Page
Over in the coloring club you can find an apple page - you could also have your students paint or color to match the display pattern!
Find the pennants with an accompanying digital recording page - over in my store!
Also available is a set of pattern activity cards - great for morning bins, small group math or learning centers.
