Virtual Manipulatives-Complete the Pattern (gr.k-5)

This week I decided to use the virtual manipulative, complete the pattern. I really liked this one because of the color choices it used and because it varied the patterns. In addition, if the student got the pattern wrong it would tell them Oops! This isn't the pattern we had in mind. Change some your colors and try again. I like that it uses positive words so that the student does not get discouraged. Also, if you solve it correctly is says Good Job! The point of this manipulative is that so teachers can see whether or not students know what patterns are and whether or not a student can determine if something is a pattern or not.
