Play a simple game to build pattern recognition skills

Pattern recognition is an important math skill. To help your child practice, play Guess the Pattern. Provide the first three numbers in a simple pattern (1, 3, 5), and ask your child to tell you what comes next (7). Allow a few guesses, then supply the answer. Take turns giving each other patterns. Start with simple ones, and increase the challenge as your child gets older and learns more math.
