The learning connection
Embodied cognition suggests that physical manipulation of objects enhances memory and understanding of abstract concepts. By arranging and rearranging items, children solidify their grasp of patterns through hands-on engagement.
Try it with your learner
1. Gather 10 small items (like buttons, coins, or blocks). 2. Create a simple pattern using 3 items (e.g., red, blue, red). 3. Ask your child to identify the pattern and predict the next item. 4. Challenge them to create their own pattern with 5 items. 5. Swap patterns and see if you can both solve them. 6. Discuss what makes a pattern strong or interesting!
