Copy the Pattern on the Grid – EYFS Maths Activity

A fun, hands-on maths activity designed to encourage young children to explore and copy colour patterns using multi-link cubes.

Children look carefully at the completed pattern on the grid and then recreate the same pattern on the empty grid using linking cubes. This makes a lovely practical activity for developing children’s observation, concentration and early mathematical thinking.

Perfect for:

Continuous provision
Maths areas
Small-group activities
Independent learning
Practical pattern activities
