What is in this packet?
1. You will find a 31 day pattern calendar. The pattern is completed for you.

2. You will also find extra blank pieces in the calendar to use in case you lose a piece, or if you need an extra to finish the pattern.

3. You will find holiday pieces in this pack to use for the month.

4. This packet contains directions on how to print and use this packet as your calendar and as another resource in your math centers.

Use this packet as your calendar:
Use the calendar pieces to help you teach patterns along with your other math skills during calendar time. Of course I start with the first day of the month, and each day my students tell me what number goes next and what pattern piece goes next. This pattern is repeated all month long.

Math Center Ideas:
I also use these pieces in math centers for numeral recognition, numerical order, and patterning. You can do the activities listed below in small groups, one-on-one, or in a math center.

a. Numeral Recognition
b. Numerical Order
c. Patterns

The images on the month typically go with the holidays in that particular month and in the season. I will continue to add more calendar options that you choose from. The patterns start out as the easiest pattern such as the ABAB. You will find these in the months of July through September. Then the patterns get a little harder as the school progresses.



Enjoy :)
