Space Motif

In the game “Space Motif” planets and space objects that differ by color or shape are scattered on the screen. The child is asked to recognize a given pattern and repeat it by carefully moving the planets and space objects into a tube. The child needs to develop good eye-hand coordination skills in order to avoid collisions between the planet which is being moved and the others that exist on the screen.

The teacher/therapist can make game quite challenging by setting time limits and/or adding an extra obstacle in the form of black hole which can pull down a planet or space object that hits on it. The level of complexity of the patterns can be adapted to the level of the player by choosing the appropriate game settings.

Are you ready to arrange planets and space objects in a specific order?

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.OA.C.5
Math
Grade: 4
Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule "Add 3" and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way.
