Making a Pompom Bracelet activity.
ObjectivesTeach children about standard patterns.Teach children about patterns that repeat.Introduce debugging a repeating pattern.
Key Vocabulary
Repeating patterns: A set pattern where the order is repeated (e.g., A, B, C, A, B, C or pink, blue, yellow, pink, blue, yellow).
Algorithm: A set of rules followed to complete this specific activity.
Debugging: Fixing something that is incorrect (in this case, fixing a pattern that repeats incorrectly).
Connection to Coding
Patterns serve as an introduction to pre-computer coding concepts by building foundational skills:
They are a key component in computational thinking.They help visualize repeating lines of code.They provide a great way to see when things have gone wrong.They help solve complex problems efficiently.
The Activity Task
