Types of patterns that we’re going to learn in grade two are;
• Texture pattern

• Letter pattern
Texture pattern
Texture is the smoothness or roughness of an object.
• Let Learners touch different objects in class and say whether they are rough or smooth.
• Create different texture patterns by placing papers on the objects and using a pencil to rub
on the paper.
Examples of textures
Smooth textures
Shape pattern
The shapes include circles, squares, rectangles,ovals,stars and triangles.These are shapes to be
used in creating patterns.
Learners to create patterns by placing papers on various shapes then use pencils to rub or crayons
