Working with patterns not only improves a child’s foundation for problem solving in all core learning activities, but expands the tool-set they have available when confronted with a new challenge. Just as an adult might have devised day-to-day strategies for selecting alternate routes based on traffic or the time of day, a child can use the experiences they have had with pattern recognition to learn to approach a problem from different angles when a solution doesn’t immediately present itself. This adaptive type of problem solving is critical to early learning.
