The next step is to look at the snap clap pattern, turn it into a letter pattern, and make a letter pattern card for it.

We use the letter pattern card we made with pattern blocks to make a block pattern and repeat it four times.

Now we use the pattern block stamps to make a card that shows  our block pattern one time.
 
 

The final level of understanding patterning  is then to be able to create your own pattern and repeat it four times.

As a review and extra practice on patterning a few days later we match up the letter pattern cards we made to the block pattern cards we made and then use them to copy the pattern and repeat it four times.
