This AB patterns worksheet also comes with an accompanying Smart Notebook section. As a teacher, you can either have the students discover AB patterns as a whole group lesson using your interactive whiteboard, or you can reinforce their ability of AB patterns using the worksheet. Students will also get to cut out and glue the snowflakes onto the worksheet as an activity. There are also a few extra snowflakes they can cut out and create a necklace with if you would like to do an extension activity. This worksheet is great during the winter months.
