Unplugged Tots – Pattern recognition
This STEAM activity is perfect for young children. I’m using shapes and colours as a way to introduce pattern recognition and debugging. Lets give our children the skills they need for their future, now.
The general activity:
Spot the matching pattern
Make lots of different repeating patterns
Make some mistakes and fix them again
Please note, product colours may vary from images shown in my shop.

“There is currently a shortfall of over 173,000 workers in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) sectors: an average of 10 unfilled roles per business in the UK…..This is a challenge that we have tracked for the last 15 years – longer than the time it takes for a primary aged-child to complete their education.” IET - Engineering Kids Futures
To equip our children with the skills they’ll need for their digital future, Unplugged Tots activities introduce:
Algorithms - following a set of rules
Sequencing - following the algorithm in a particular order
Logic - working out reasoning
Pattern recognition - working out any repeating patterns
Deconstruction – breaking down problems into smaller easier to manage chunks
Resilience and debugging – fostering a growth mindset when facing problems and working through to fix any errors
Maps, Navigation and Direction – using landmarks to help us get around
Inclusivity, Collaboration and Representation – Listening, championing and respecting EVERYONE no matter what
