An early interest in pattern recognition and problem solving is key to helping a child develop a critical love for learning, but because of the unique strengths and weaknesses of each child, some children may excel with one type of pattern work while some might excel with a different learning approach. Some children are visual learners, some are better when engaged verbally and some engage patterns on an entirely different level. Sometimes teaching a child to approach a problem by multiple approaches like sketching out an image, counting and tallying or verbally breaking a problem down can help both them and the educator determine which approach might suit them best.
