Compare bear repeating patterns. I have created a variety of different repeating pattern cards that can be printed, laminated and used to assist children with their own repeated patterns using ‘compare bears’. There are also blank cards so children can make their own repeating patterns. Compare bear photos were taken against a white background. The white background has been removed on the resources. Colours include Red, Blue, Yellow, Green. ** Update ** I have now included Purple and Orange compare bears for patterns. The 3rd page on the preview is aligned properly!

The aims of this KS3 Printmaking Pattern Project are for students to understand how to design patterns, understand the poly-printing process and learn how to take inspiration from a street artist. It introduces students to a wide range of materials incuding printing equipment and Indian inks. Students create two drawn designs (one in colour) and develop them into poly printing designs. They create their own backgrounds to print onto and create a final outcome inspired by an artist. I designed this project with a few aims in mind: The project had to be engaging for different sub-groups including disadvantaged boys It allowed students to analyse and discuss graffiti and street art Students could respond to the artist in their own way It gave students autonomy over their final outcomes Students learned a printmaking process Students could learn from their mistakes and refine their work The project included colour theory The presentation has over 40 slides, including: an artist for students to research steps for creating a rotational pattern design a video for students to watch when creating their polyboard design entry tasks / starters / do now / exit task activities for each part of the project examples of student’s work throughout notes on some slides to clearly explain what to do slides that can be printed for lesson resources

This is a good place to start to understand what is colour and colour theory in the form of organising colours in a colour wheel. This i normally do in year seven but also go through again at GCSE - students should learn a large number of colour terms through this powerpoint. The powerpoint gives clear steps to making a colour wheel and then explains all the colour terms in depth, primary, secondary colour snd tertiary colours, with complementary and analogous colours. There are also more colour study tasks and more colour terms to understand, so it goes into more depth on different colours- including degraded colour, triads, hue, chroma, tint, tone, luminosity, lustre, neutral colours, monochrome and split contrasts. We will be learning to make a colour wheel We will be learning about colour terms We will be learning to make a colour wheel with paint, or with pencil crayons or with found objects We will be learning to combine a range of objects and arrange them in a colour wheel We will be making a drawing developing a mood by using colour There are also video clips on colour studies linked to tasks. Based on an understanding of colour there is a task to represent their own memories and feelings using colour, shape and pattern. “Try to close their eyes and remember an experience in terms of colour and form. Try to make visual notes in your sketchbooks. Make a painting which symbolises the experience let your feelings and memories come out by using different colours, shapes and patterns.’”

9 repeating pattern strips & 3 blank strips for creating their own ABA & ABBA patterns. 2cm circles can be used with loose parts, buttons, tickit translucent stacking counters or colouring pencils and pens.

A fun activity for your students when studying geometry or cultural celebrations such as Diwali (The Festival of Lights). Students use the grid lines and lines of symmetry to help them draw the pattern in the other sections of the circle. The lines are light grey and they will become less visible after colouring. Included: ♦ 3 different patterns ♦ Blank template (students can make up their own pattern) For each of the 3 patterns: ♦ student template with grid lines. ♦ completed student template (great as a reference during the lesson). ♦ the pattern without the grid lines (could be used as a simple colouring activity if desired). An example of what is included for each of the 3 patterns is included in the images. Provided in 2 different paper sizes: ♦ A4 size paper ♦ Letter size paper Make ... colour ... cut ... display The blank template includes: grid lines, lines of symmetry, outer circle. © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources

This train-themed resource includes a variety of activities to support matching, colouring, and pattern for KS1 and EYFS learners. Page 1: A train engine with 11 colourful carriages, each a different colour pattern. (You could duplicate, cut out and laminate the small cards for matching games). Page 2: 12 different colour patterned engine cards. Duplicate, cut and match or children can use to build a train with their choice of colour carriages. Page 3: Black-and-white version of the engine and carriages for children to colour freely or copy colours from previous pages. You could task the children with making each carriage different using a set number of crayons. Children could share their creations at the end of the session to see if anyone else has an engine or carriage the same as them! Page 4: Black-and-white version of the engines sheet for children to colour in. Page 5: A train scene colouring page, using an engine and two carriages. Learning Links: Supports colour recognition, pattern, matching skills, and fine motor control, while engaging young learners in a fun train theme! Links also with Transport and Toys topics.

A cute little activity to support colour knowledge and pattern matching Contains - x9 strips with various arrangments of the colour monsters x1 table sign dots to stick on pegs for colour matching colour monster images to sue for pattern matching

A resource suitable for children within EYFS, KS1, PS1 and PS2. Great for fine motor skill development, for introducing African prints and patterns as part of Art and Design or Expressive Arts.

A quick and easy activity set up to help support pattern matching and colour identification. I use these with multilink cubes. Contains - x1 table sign x4 A4’s each with 3 pattern strips Each pattern strip is a simple repeating pattern of 2 colours. Ideal activity for start of year

In this introductory lesson, students explore the elements of line, pattern, and colour to create a vibrant “patterned landscape”. Through guided instruction, students will experiment with repetition and arrangement to establish engaging patterns within their compositions. This lesson is perfect for cover lessons and includes a fun “register pattern bingo” activity that students love. All you’ll need are A4 paper and pens for the students to get started. Enjoy it and if you like my resources, please leave a review :)

Here are 5 colour patterns for children to copy. Each page shows a colour pattern and a black and white template to fill in. Children can also make their own design colour patterns.

A resource linked to Spring, Summer, Animals or Insects. Sheet 1 shows 6 outline butterflies for children to colour in using their own ideas of colour and pattern. They could make them all the same, all different, or make them so that they match the colour butterflies in sheet 2. Sheet 3 shows the 6 colour butterflies in sheet 2 with the colour circles left clear. Children can add their own colours or the matching colours for sheet 2. Talk about colour, pattern, shape and symmetry with the children. Duplicate the sheets, cut out and laminate for matching games. Enlarge the sheets for use with a range of media such as paint and collage or to add to displays.

This resource is a collection of 18 colour flashcards that can be cut out and laminated if desired. It can be used with practical resources such as blocks, bricks, gummed squares of paper. It includes: Flashcards (18): Brightly coloured images of ‘Stickle’ blocks / bricks. Practical Activity Sheets (2): Children use blocks, bricks, or square gummed paper to recreate the patterns shown on the sheets. They can also incorporate number by counting colours and how many blocks in each tower. Colouring Sheets (2): White brick templates where children can colour in the bricks to match the colour patterns shown. Brick Copying Pages (2): Colourful brick patterns for children to replicate by placing bricks or blocks directly on the template and / or colour in the template. This resource supports learning about colour, pattern, and shape. It’s ideal for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1 (KS1), helping develop fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and pattern recognition through hands-on and creative activities.

3 different butterfly colour patterns for children to copy. They could use a range of media such as felt pens, paint, collage or crayons. Extend by asking children to make a colour butterfly pattern for their friends to copy. Links to symmetry.

Different patterned beebot (15x15cm) cards.

As the title suggests, this is a colouring sheet for finding fractions of amounts. Unlike other maths colouring sheets, each sheet only requires four different colours and therefore requires fewer teacher supplies. Students solve the answers to the questions and colour based on their solution. This then creates a pattern which looks great on a classroom wall. It also makes it very easy to tell which students understand and which need help as their answers are easy to see from a distance. Win-win as students are pleased to see their work displayed and the classroom looks brighter. :) The solution is the pattern displayed. Suitable for KS3 and KS4. All feedback gratefully accepted

This is a great resource to put in pupil's individual TEACCH boxes or for independent tasks to consolidate matching, sequencing and following a pattern. The flashcards are clear and uncluttered for maximum pupil focus. They can be used with threading cubes to also promote and encourage fine motor skills.
