I printed some addition flash cards and cut them apart. Your child might be able to label the pattern (ABCD or AABB, for example), but my Four isn’t ready for that.įor an even more advanced pattern activity using unifix cubes, visit Stay at Home Educator. A year ago patterns made no sense to him at all, and now they’re a breeze. Then we named the pattern (yellow, blue, blue, yellow, blue, blue) and he continued it. We began the pattern by placing cubes on the colored squares. My Four started simple with ABAB and moved into the tougher patterns.

These free unifix cube pattern cards from Heidisongs are terrific! I love the set includes a huge variety of patterns. Get this printable at the end of the post. Then he graphed them and compared the towers. He used some crayons to color a square at the bottom of each column to represent the colors. I simply gave my son the printable, crayons, and a set of cubes in eight colors. We have found a lot of fun ways to make graphs. Older kids would be able to tell you which amount was more without building the towers building the towers and comparing them would be a way to check their answer. Then we built the towers to see which was taller. My Two placed cubes on the squares as we counted together. Then I placed down two cards at a time – of two different colors. I printed some of these more/less/same cards. This idea from Prekinders was perfect for my Two. Then we added that number of cubes to his tower. When he rolled it I helped him identify the number. So I took one of our cool blank dice and labeled the sides with some small numbers to start (1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3). The next step? Learning to recognize numbers. My Two (going on three) is now counting past ten quite well and starting to count objects up to 5 without difficulty. This looked so fun my Four wanted a turn afterward. But no matter… sorting 100 cubes (minus the 20 or so we’ve misplaced, ahem) is a big job – so my Two sorted about 7 colors before he’d had enough.
There are ten different colors in our set of unifix cubes, so my dip tray didn’t have quite enough sections.
Today I’m sharing some ways that kids ages 2-8 can learn with these colorful manipulatives! 1- Sort by color We have a small set of unifix cubes that we use for all sorts of math learning. Today I’m sharing a variety of activities to help you get the most out of your unifix cubes.
