The book is filled with carefully developed tasks, together with thoughtful analysis of what we might observe and how to support children’s development” Helen Williams THE POWER OF PATTERN - Patterning in the Early Years by Alison Borthwick, Sue Gifford, Helen Thouless A fascinating book that tells the story of a project which follows a group of teachers and their classes of three to five years olds as they explore different types of pattern. The authors have developed a collection of activities which engaged children in creative thinking and mathematical reasoning in a range of enjoyable contexts. Included in the book are learning trajectories, suggestions for practical activities, an example of a pattern lesson and much more. A strong theme is the inclusive nature of patterning and the way it can be inter-woven. www.atm.org.uk/shop/ACT133 FULL COLOUR, 70 PAGE BOOK, EYFS, KS1 MEMBERS £13.50 LIST PRICE £18.00
