This website present 10 math manipulatives that are great for teaching math concepts and vocabulary. They also encourage imaginative play and exploration. Children are more able to discuss their mathematical thinking by using manipulatives and they need three-dimensional manipulatives when learning math patterns and math in general.

In tis website, the children will practice sorting objects and arranging them into patterns which will help the children build basic math skills. It will help children understand, identify, and create patterns. The children will learn repeating patterns on clothes, rugs, wallpaper, bathroom tiles, and in books and magazines. The teacher will talk about each pattern and help the children identify the rule that organizes it. for example, the teacher might say: Look at the square tiles in our bathroom: Look at the square tiles in our bathroom: white, pink, pink, pink; white, pink, pink, pink.

In this activity, students create patterns using connecting cubes and describe various patterns they find in different sequences of cubes. Students explore and describe connecting patterns, and extend their patterns using a sequence of sounds and shapes. Students investigate various ways to interpret the same sequence of cubes by exploring ways to describe patterns translating from one representation to another.

In this activity, students create and analyze repeating patterns using pattern units of three, four, and five squares. They predict how patterns with different numbers of squares will appear when repeated in a grid, and check their predictions. Students investigate similarities and differences between the rows, columns, and diagonal patterns created with each pattern unit.

This is a website that has a pattern activities for the teacher to model and then the students try to copy it. First the teacher teaches the students the pattern vocabulary, then the teacher asks the students if they can copy the pattern and the last thing is that the teacher asks the students what is missing and they tray to figure out what is missing in the pattern

This link is for a video about the buzzy bees making patterns. They don't just make any kind of patterns, they make pirate related patterns. By watching this video the children will be able to recognize and extend patterns using gold coins, skulls, treasure chests, barrels etc.

This link is for a website that has a lesson plan on making patterns of many different things such as counting bears, crayons, colored macaroni, pattern blocks and many others.  The website states that

the book "Bag It and Box It Math" and "Math Their Way" have lots of good ideas about making pattern activities.

(6) Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional solids to develop generalizations about their properties. The student is expected to:

(6) (A) identify two-dimensional shapes, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares as special rectangles;
(6) (B) identify three-dimensional solids, including cylinders, cones, spheres, and cubes, in the real world;
(6) (C) identify two-dimensional components of three-dimensional objects;
(6) (D) identify attributes of two-dimensional shapes using informal and formal geometric language interchangeably;
(6) (E) classify and sort a variety of regular and irregular two- and three-dimensional figures regardless of orientation or size; and
(6) (F) create two-dimensional shapes using a variety of materials and drawings.
