Professional guidance helps The pieces are simple to handle, but they only make sense inside the Building On Patterns program. Getting good results means planning lessons and adapting them to the child, so help from a teacher of students with visual impairments or an early childhood educator is recommended.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This pack holds the hands-on pieces used with the Building On Patterns (BOP) prekindergarten program, an inclusive math curriculum. It includes a model fish, a wooden cube, a score card, a digital recording device, and five sets of tactile picture cards, so children who learn by touch can work with patterns through objects and raised pictures. The pack is the manipulatives only, so you'll need the BOP curriculum itself to know how to use each piece in lessons.
