This pack provides everything you need to support your children in learning about estimation. It includes vocabulary, signs and worksheets to create an estimation station. There is also estimation homework to reinforce the concept at home. Cut out flaps allow you to cover the jars to ensure that the children only see the buttons briefly before they make their estimation.

8 play dough mats to reinforce the concept of pattern. Children use play dough to make spots or stripes to decorate the pictures. The small inset picture shows the illustration as it should look once the spots and stripes have been added. There is a party hat, bee, ladybird, pair of socks, dog, face and t-shirt that need decorating. Children will develop fine motor control as they manipulate the play dough into spots and stripes.

This pack introduces children to repeating patterns in a number of ways. Children can complete the repeating patterns on the coats of the very cute dachshunds/sausage dogs, progressing to designing their own repeating patterns. There is a cat picture full of patterns for the children to identify and colour. There are pattern cards which feature a whole range of objects to demonstrate the diverse number of ways in which patterns can be made. Children can use these to find and match repeating patterns as well as make their own patterns.
