triangle, square, and rectangle).
Activities
K.12 The student will describe the location of one object relative to another (above, below, next to) and
identify representations of plane geometric figures (circle, triangle, square, and rectangle) regardless of

triangle, square, and rectangle).
Activities

Extension - Students can complete their own pattern using the graphics of their choice. See template below.
2. Use http://www.abc.net/au/countusin/games/game2.htm to make patterns.
