Hat Dancers (activity)

Hat Dancers is an activity in JumpStart Math for Kindergartners. It is designed to teach pattern recognition skills.

Description
The Hat Dancers and Hopsalot need help practicing dances for Guthry's birthday party. The player must figure out the dancers' pattern by observing the sequence on the Dance Machine, and then placing the correct images in the remaining spaces to finish the pattern. Once all of the spaces have been filled, the dancers will be able to practice their dance.
