• Cut different geometric shapes of different colours up to 30 pieces each.
• Get plan cardboards and gum.

• Organize the pupils into two or more groups depending on the size of the class with equal (same) materials.

• Guide them to create any pattern with the available pattern.

Pupil’s Activities – Participate actively in the class activities.

 

Teacher’s remark – Good job you. Patterns are repeated decorative design. Call out any member in each group for presentation.
