Recognizing and Understanding Patterns with Magna-Tiles®
Pattern recognition is an important early math skill that can improve brain development and activity. There is no better way to teach pattern recognition to your students or children than with a colorful, high-quality Magna-Tiles®, Magna-Tiles® Structures, or Magna-Qubix® kids magnet building set. With our unique magnetic toys, children learn to recognize shapes, create patterns, and build fine motor skills – which makes playing with Magna-Tiles® a highly STEM-friendly activity.
Promoting the Development of Pattern Recognition Skills
By participating in pattern recognition activities, young children increase their cognitive capacity for learning and aid in the development of their minds. By identifying, reproducing, and creating patterns, students practice valuable critical thinking skills in a non-traditional form, which can positively impact their development in a variety of unrelated areas, from writing to music.
When explaining geometric concepts to your students with Magna-Tiles® and Magna-Qubix®, you can easily display 2D shapes and patterns in many different orientations, as well as quickly convert a 3D shape into its 2D form – and back again. With Magna-Tiles®, your imagination is the only limit to what you can create! If you are in the mood to be inspired, check out our idea gallery, and don’t forget to consider signing your child up to be a Magna-Maker™.
