Wairoa School looking at patterns with coloured Teddy Bears

Teddy Bear Patterns

Here are the teddies, red, green and blue. Let’s sort them by colour, the yellow teddies too.&nbsp;

This is also a pattern that is easy to do. Green, green and blue, green, green and blue.&nbsp;

And if we put a yellow after each green, we have a four-colour pattern, the best I've ever seen.&nbsp; 

Now you know how to make a pattern so neat. Just remember that the patterns always repeat.&nbsp;

Four colours in order. Wow! What a sight. Now say the pattern from left to right.

We will learn about colour patterns in this book. The teddies will help us, come and have a look.&nbsp;

The green teddies want to join in too. Let’s put them here, right next to the blue.&nbsp;

Line them up neatly in two-colour pairs. Then repeat, and you have made a pattern of bears.&nbsp;

There are so many patterns we can make on a line. Blue, blue, red and yellow. Then again, one more time.&nbsp;

The teddies have now made a pattern for you. Can you count all the teddies? Maybe count by twos?&nbsp;

Now count all the groups. Is it two, or is it more? Let’s count together: 1, 2, 3, 4. 

The teddies will help you make a pattern so neat. The fun about patterns is they always repeat.&nbsp;

Can you count all the teddies in this pattern? That’s right; it is ten. Now let’s make a new pattern with teddies again.&nbsp;

We arrange them by colour and in pairs. That means each group has two teddy bears.&nbsp;
