There are patterns in counting and writing numbers to 100, patterns in graphs, patterns in the seasons, patterns in the calendar. Patterns in number +1, patterns in stories, patterns in animal life cycles and skin coverings. Last year our team was torn too and decided to still teach about patterning. Since we must list the CCS in our plans, I dug around in the CCS and Mathematical Practices until I found something the team agreed with that was pattern related. I can't remember the exact numbers now but I think it is in MP7 and MP8. So keeep on patterning. <br />DenisePartly Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944718690905806506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658705388001329172.post-83417705889503813492012-11-05T19:37:11.952-05:002012-11-05T19:37:11.952-05:00Hi Kerri!

I totally agree with you that patterns are an essential foundational skill and should be taught in Kindergarten. <br /><br />I would love for you to come read my post!<br /><br />-Sarah<br />adotdoesalot.blogspot.comSarah Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438570517952627036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658705388001329172.post-17429775438365236462012-09-16T13:05:30.308-04:002012-09-16T13:05:30.308-04:00I teach Kindergarten in California and many of us ...I teach Kindergarten in California and many of us are concerned also. Patterns should be part of the standards in math, science and literature because it applies to all three. It cannot be assumed that students will transfer the concept. The students being the most important piece, it is also important as a matter of professional communication. If we the standards are the basis for communicating why we are doing what we are doing, then key features cannot be left out. Principals are generally not experts in every grade level and therefore, must evaluate based on the standards. <br /><br />So, can we affect a change in the standards?Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717091313887488577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658705388001329172.post-18481111423378029832012-05-21T19:34:15.635-04:002012-05-21T19:34:15.635-04:00We are adopting them in Math starting next Septemb...We are adopting them in Math starting next September. Oy. I think they expect things like calendar and patterns to just "happen" as part of the day...not as part of the curriculum. We started using Go Math this year, which is supposedly Common Core. Money is in the Kind & 1st grade books. :)KathyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13228484609460263970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658705388001329172.post-19159683127696542512012-04-26T23:24:22.730-04:002012-04-26T23:24:22.730-04:00I think we need to realize that patterns are not j...I think we need to realize that patterns are not just a math concept. Common Core, from what I understand, wants to focus on conceptual understandings...which transfers to further grades and the understanding of, for example, fractions, and algebraic computations...which one must perceive and visualize before moving forward toward understanding more complex math concepts.lynnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658705388001329172.post-12240565023290884502012-02-14T16:35:42.897-05:002012-02-14T16:35:42.897-05:00I completely agree.

It looks like they just forgot about patterns completely, but I agree that it is an essential building block for math in K.

We are just starting our discussion about books that have patterns using the calendar as our reference point.

Well, our kids did patterns for a week or two (essence of patterns!) and I guess we can throw it in there a little. We only have 6 weeks left in 1st quarter so we are going to focus on the first quarter objectives and try to get them all in. We were told not to worry about the common core until after today but now we have a ton of planning to do! It should be an interesting year!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827401608677447554noreply@blogger.com
