Patterns are pre-math
Repeating patterns are the foundation of algebraic thinking — long before equations, children learn that sequences have rules they can predict. Each row shows a pattern of two pictures, an empty box, and two choices. Say it out loud (bee, flower, bee, flower…) and the answer pops.
Start with AB, then stretch to AAB and ABB when it gets too easy. Both pictures in every row are yours to pick — seasonal themes work beautifully — and the answer key circles the right choice in green.
