Other Work Samples for:

Ashley has demonstrated an adequate level of competence in making spatial patterns. Two-part repeating patterns have been created using pattern blocks and the results have been recorded by tracing around the materials used. To progress further, Ashley should be introduced to three-part repeating patterns and encouraged to create patterns using other materials and record them by drawing freehand. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at the expected standard midway through Kindergarten.
