In this step-by-step activity video, we learn to identify and create patterns before creating a simple loom from popsicle sticks and twine. The loom can be used to create endless patterns for hours of math related fun. This video is included as part of PBS SoCal’s Family Math initiative, which provides math tools and support for families of young learners.
